Heliboard-themes

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.
Themes
April Updates
| Theme | Preview | Style |
|---|---|---|
| After Colony |  .jpg) | A fun Anime (Gundam Wing) keyboard. If you want to use your own backgrounds, use this theme. Just dim/overlay your own bg by 35%-50%, and add it to this theme from your app. |
| After Colony Zero |  | Pure black background, white keys, magenta/pink number accents, cyan globe and delete button, purple search button. The contrast is immaculate. |
| Cyber Neony |  | Dark navy, full neon yellow keys, cyan search button — bold and it works |
| PLN |  | Personal Nord variant — steel blue, warm and less clinical than stock Nord |
| Catppuccin Frappe |  | Muted blue-grey, mauve search button, faithful to the Catppuccin palette |
| Mellow Dark |  | Near-black with warm undertones, pink search button, very clean |
| Vesnea Dark |  | Deep purple-navy, barely-visible pink number accents, night-mode friendly |
| Vesnea Muted |  | Muted Vesnea variant with adjusted contrast |
