Please read the v3.5 skin SDK here:
http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=576

For existing v3.0 skins, you just need a little bit update to make it work with v3.5.

While uploading skin, you make sure you include the following info:
1. The edition the skin applies to v3.0 or v3.5?
2. VGA or QVGA?
3. Screenshoot

Thank you!

Hi
 
Is it possible to provide foreground texts and symbols in dark colour so that we can make key button/skin in light colour? Now the text are generally in light colour. If we make key button/skin in light colour, we won't be able to see the text.

You can edit the color yourself! It works.

Sure, just open the file in your photo editor and use the "replace color" feature, most of them have one. Just replace the letter color with your own.
For example, here's the ones I edited in black (for letters) and a adarker grady (for symbols) for my skin:

Thanks for sharing the file.
 
I will try to look for the 'replace colour' feature... I'm using GIMP. Hope it has this feature... not too pro with this tool yet. Still exploring.
