How would I go about this? I want to keep all the functionality of the keyboard (spell-checking, being able to change languages, etc), but I want to customize the look and feel of the buttons and the background.
How would I go about this?

There are various tricks you can play to overlay buttons with other ones. A popular one is to overlay the "." button on the numeric pad to provide a "Done" key. And there's probably an opensource project somewhere to provide a DIY keyboard. – Hot Licks Dec 13 '12 at 17:06

That would probably also be good for a done button. But when you need to do it to all the buttons, and for all the buttons with all the different languages that are out there, then I don't know if it's an option anymore. – Holger Sindbaek Dec 13 '12 at 17:19

The closest you could probably get is by following the tutorial here
Beware, this is a pretty complicated task.

Might be a solution. Seems quite complicated if you want to replace all the buttons backgrounds in all the different languages though. – Holger Sindbaek Dec 17 '12 at 03:49

Have we really hit a point where it simply isn't possible to do it? – Holger Sindbaek Dec 17 '12 at 23:15

Well really, once you have one keyboard, you can just reuse your code (with a few tweaks) over and over for each language that you want. – chandhooguy Dec 21 '12 at 15:12

For simple functionalities you can always use textfield properties .
For custom things check This Question

It's not really the functionalities I need control over. It's the look and feel of the keyboard. The colors and such. – Holger Sindbaek Dec 13 '12 at 17:18

1Thanks. There's also a github project with a whole keyboard out there, but it doesn't work for multiple languages. That's the big problem. – Holger Sindbaek Dec 20 '12 at 19:36
