Custom HeliBoard/LeanType keyboard themes - Catppuccin, Rose Piné, Cyberpunk, Neon, E-Ink, Anime, and more (because the default ones weren't enough)
A collection of custom themes for LeanType and HeliBoard - made because I couldn't find themes that felt right.
Multiple themes ranging from minimal to chaotic. Dark, light, pastel, neon. All handcrafted. All have gesture trails. And pop-up keys colored. And much more. Added 5 more themes in June Release (Total 16) All themes have customized gestured trails even if I have not shared the specific screenshots.

| After Colony |  .jpg) |

| After Colony Zero |  |
Pure black background, white keys, magenta/pink number accents, cyan globe and delete button, purple search button. The contrast is immaculate. |
