Dark Mode Same colours in both

Separate colours for Dark ModeOff: the light design is used in both appearances. On: every group gets a dark override you can edit with the Dark switch above the preview.

Generated dark colours keep each group’s hue and hierarchy rather than swapping black for white, which is what the app’s own built-ins do.

Pattern Colour

Brightness 0.70 Speed 0.50 Appearance

ReactiveKeys flash as they go down Only on keypressThe pattern appears only while you type. Needs Reactive.

The preview sketches the family of each pattern. The app draws the real thing.

Material & shape Cherry

Show keycapsOff, every key is just its legend printed straight on the deck — the bare lettered board, and the quickest one to draw. Shape, finish and lights step aside until the caps come back.

Background Keyboard material

Colour the deckOne colour, or a gradient of up to five, behind the keys — still or slowly moving. Off leaves the keyboard’s own material, which matches the globe strip iOS draws below it.

Key press preview Follows the letter keys

The magnified bubble a pressed key raises. It wears the letter keys’ cap and legend colours unless you pick your own — for whichever appearance you are editing. Shown while Key preview is on in the app’s Keys menu.

Background Custom background

Legend Custom legend

The keyboard is published privately to NuKey’s sharing service and the code points at it. Nothing is listed anywhere, and only the genuine NuKey app can fetch it. Up to 20 codes a day from one browser.

Drop a .nukeytheme here to keep editing one written by the AI theme prompt. Nothing is uploaded until you create a code.
