After installing the keyboard, you’ll be presented with a brand new menu option labeled “Themes.” From here you can choose from a variety of preset layouts, but the real beauty here is that Google puts the paintbrush in your hands to let you create whatever kind of keyboard you want. You can even add your own images for the background.
