Styling
Easily style your custom keyboard
While iOS has very limited ways to customize the look and feel of the native keyboard, KeyboardKit can be styled and customized with styles and themes.
KeyboardKit has a KeyboardStyle
namespace that contains style-related types, styles and views, to let you style different parts of the keyboard.
Colors & Images
KeyboardKit defines keyboard-specific Color
and Image
assets that can be used in any keyboard.


See the docs for info on how semi-transparent colors are used to work around a system bug in iOS.
Type Extensions
Many KeyboardKit types define standard images, texts & colors. For instance:
let context = KeyboardContext()
let image = KeyboardAction.command.standardButtonImage(for: context) // Command icon
let text = KeyboardAction.space.standardButtonText(for: context) // KKL10n.space
Style Modifiers
Most KeyboardKit views have custom styles and style modifiers. For instance, the Keyboard.Button
view has a .keyboardButtonStyle(_:)
view modifier that lets you customize the style of any button.
π KeyboardKit Pro
KeyboardKit Pro unlocks additional assets, and a theme engine that makes styling even easier.
Emoji Icons
KeyboardKit Pro emoji-specific, vectorized assets, like the .keyboardEmoji
and .emojiCategory(_:)
