However it looks like the CSSU team are working on a new system wide portrait KB and are now looking for assistance.

They haven't made any such announcements and plenty of times CSSU devs have said that if we want portrait keyboard we can use FastSMSEvo..
Please present facts and not create rumours. Unless you post something showing evidence to this. Nobody should believe it or get their hopes up. Itll end in people whining about something not being made that was not intended to be made.

Now thats much better for the developer to have a look at
The key sizing issue should be easy to fix just a simple font adjustment.
The making it look like opera, well I am not sure but tbh I dont care much for the opera keyboard and I think the QWERTY layout is fine atm.
The theme thing well I am sure the developer could add a way for us to select the theme is uses
I would also love it to load a bit faster, but i can live with it. My most pressing issue is that when i open phone and dial a number, it doesn't show up in the box unless i click that box, at which point it highlights what's been entered. Very annoying.

I was away in last days so I can't update to last CSSU...
Now I'm trying to fix the problem...
Where CSSU announced a new portrait kb?
Edit: this is a Qt bug http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18720

Can you possible increase the size of the letters within each key so there is less wasted space within each one?
Also implement the keyboard vibration I asked about awhile back
Also somehow implement a way for the keyboard to have its own theme instead of relying on the system theme. It works fine for me but some users seem to be having problems with seeing the keys in daylight

About the third I think not atm, I changed icons management so every one can change it, but create button skin is very away from my skills
btw If someone want to try to design it I can try to manage this...

If you can't create a skin, how about not having it change with each theme and just have a stock colour like grey?

I will try after dinner and if it is looks ok, I will add this Grey color in buttons? no, I really dislike something like this! Perhaps D4rklar can help on this...
However I'm thinking about to make the kb fullscreen with a green check (like symbian). What do you think?

The buttons won't need a light colour if the actual letters are made bigger and brighter. If the buttons themselves are black can the letters themselves be a light, or at least bright, colour, like red, light blue or something?
