Show come code. Explain your issue with code. Do not try to do this with text. Code please.
What are you trying to do with the keyboard? Does it open within a dialog? Do you really want to change backgroundUri of the dialog the keyboard spawns into?
m.top.keyboard.focusedKeyColor = "0xffffffff"
m.top.keyboard.keyColor = "0xffffffff"
I use the above just fine. You can set the opacity _IN_ the color. The last 2 ff means make it bright as bright gets. The 255 on the scale of 255.
To figure the opacity divide what you put: ff = 255. say you want 0.8 opacity. 80% of FF = what you want to put at the end of your colors.
The main thing is likely there is no issue here. You just aren't doing it right. Without providing code for us to see what you are doing wrong we can't assume you are doing it right. It cannot be assumed this is a bug. You need code that proves the bug. Can you provide that?
Also your statement of: "I tried to include an empty border around the 9-patched image. "
No wonder it doesn't work. Do you understand what a 9patch image is? There can't be empty around. Yes really. Stop doing that.. lol. It needs to know where exactly the edge is to know how to compose the "growth" of this 9patch. It also needs this to know how to apply your corners. You wont get proper growth without proper understanding of this and how to construct a 9patch.
