I havent seen any with a blue keyboard, but you can always get better keyboard from the market and get a skin for it.

My favorite one is right here, or you could just theme it yourself and pick w/e shade of blue you like.

click my signature at bottom of post to see my blue echo theme. it has a glossy black keyboard with blue letters on the keys. also mostly blue and black everywhere with a custom boot screen.
The best blue themes I've seen are from Gomorrah and chubbzlou(imo of course).
I know the stock is yellow, and there are the default green and a red option for the Gingerbread Theme, but I would really like a royal blue one. All I'm really looking for is a change in color of the notification bar images to a royal blue (Florida Gators fan!). I would greatly appreciate someone doing this, if you could use the Gingerbread Theme with the larger white battery numbers, it'd be even better. Thanks in advance to anyone willing!
+1 ... My nickname is Sonic... So I would definitely love that!
Where is the red one?
I may tackle this request sometime this week. I will create a post if/when I get it done.
That sounds great, I look forward to your response sometime this week.

I think there are some other colour themes for Swype, I think I remember a post about it on droid-life?
Not 100% sure, but you can search through their articles. Wouldn't mind getting away from those colours either.
Cheers!
bump. I'm quite bored of this scenery as well.

I changed mine about a week ago and LOVE it. You MUST download both the Keyboard theme AND the World Choice Box. Otherwise when the Word Choice Box pops up you won't see the black text on the black background. I chose Naked White Purple theme and the Purple/Pink Word Choice Box. It's a great combo. Enjoy!
Oh! and it also supports voice input. Awesome!!
ok so here are the new screen shots and what i have changed. still working on icons and which apks to include as i do not want to suffer the same fate as some of those that are being reminded that warez is not aloud. i will pick those that suit it best for everyone. when ready to upload which i hope will not be too much longer. i hope that you guys enjoy it as much as i do. trying to mod all png images for apks that i can is being a little difficult so i will upload screenshots of those when i get them ready.
also if im not able to share at least you have an idea of what im running;-)
to all of you that have stopped in to comment and give feedback i much appreciate it and in hopes when this is ready and i am able to upload, you let me know what you think. Thanks again

Maybe white text color in the notofications drop down menu. Its a bit hard to see when black.
Other than that it looks really good

Thanks for stopping and taking the time to comment. As i said its a work in progress. second its personal preference and nothing is in stone yet. so color choice really hasn't been decided. and i know alot of people that dig blue and would be happy to have it. thanks again for stopping in to comment though. i appreciate it and will do what mods i can.

Thank you for your feedback, white is exactly what i am thinking to put in the status bar and in the drop down. however, with the cyanogen mod settings installed, this can be done through there.
yet i dont want this to be just for a cyanogen settings phone. im looking into making it an available option for all 2.2 versions.
Black and purple just don't match up on the first SS.
Secondly the status bar is rarely ugly, all people will rather prefer just a colour (Black,white,blue etc)
Third the icon with all blue is not nice.

work in progress..... nothing set in stone yet, feedback is always appreciated. blue icons look great i think. if people hadnt already went ds with their themes already i would have a chance at one. however im workin with a variety but still trying to keep simple. work in progress. new screen shots coming soon to show the changes.
Way to go mate, it's a guttsy color scheme not my thing though. Purple and blacks like green on red, hard to read. I suggest keeping it simple, gentle but sharp.. I'll be way watching

new screen shots have been posted. hope its a little more to everyones liking as for what i have done. still modding pngs and what not. still have a little work to do on status bar icons. should have more done this weekend and ready to post on monday.
emm i think u should try lighter blue....like the color of the sea...sky or something like that if u want to go with blue...but i think is great....soon u will make a fine theme....also for the notification bar normally people would like white as a font because it is easy to read because of the background color....so if u stick with blue try make a light one...because it easy to contrast between the font and the background...anyway good luck dude....will follow ur progress...keep it up!!later u can make a theme with ur eyes close....haha....joking...
android 2.3?
how did u manage to get so many points in quadrant?)
btw - really unfortunate colors u've choses 4 ur theme (sry for my eng)
Need to say, Didn't like the theme at all, it's very simple with not good color scheme, but that score is AMAZING.
All themes should be unique, if the blue was slightly muted then it would be more appealing. But changing the density to 190 would make it aesthetically pleasing too... To be honest, the whole point of android os is the ability to create something unique, so well done

thanks for your comments. actually i did have a lighter blue at one time but didnt think that it really looked all that good, and really didnt go with the colors of the bee in wallpaper image. as im sure most users want there own wallpaper or background compared to using the one that is included with the package.
however, at the same time, there are those of us users who want everything we need and nothing we dont. meaning why add something or take something away if you really dont need to? i personally dont care for a large display of colors so keeping at least one color and having the rest black is suitable. so if all icons are black and blue. or black and green or black and yellow( yes pun intended if your heard this song). also the lesser value of bright colors means you dont have alot of bright screen when you dont need it.
my thoughts anyway

android 2.2 scores like this come from a multitude of things. the greatness of zdzihu for his 2.2b4, data2sd, xrecovery.
Sysctl
as for the color scheme. i notice there are alot of you out there that really dont care for it. and as i find this really hard to believe, wow! i like most themes that ive seen out there and am really impressed with all the work that was done to them. even though i dont care to use some of theme. as i didnt care for the status bar icons or in which color it was set. mainly the 2.2 white task bar. that drives me nuts!
feedback is always appreciated and am happy that you are one of the few people to stop in and read and comment shows that something might have caught your eye and you wanted to see where it goes. so that is appreciated as well.

i appreciate your view on "unique". to which if everyone wanted to really personalize their phone. they wouldnt want to try out what everyone, or anyone else has.
my first creation was black, purple and blue in some artistic paint splash decor for the statur bar and dropdown. it was nice for me other than not seeing the clock.
as changing the blue ill look into the density and take your suggestion into consideration.
for those that really dont like the clock, i like minium color as i use my device more at night and really dont care to put off a glow when using it. i like to see my device and not let everyone else see it.
especially when driving. i dont like a bright screen poopping in my face. i like something that just lights up with the perfect ambient light needed so im not too distracted.
Mods, please delete. as i have stopped working on this theme for now. this Thread is no longer needed. Thank you;-)
2720 in quadrant ? Respect
I would change the colour in the statusbar. Maybe a bit transparency would be nice And the pink text should be white or sth like that But all in all a good start
Sorry for my bad english
Is it just Verizon that sees the need to theme their Samsung devices in terrible colors? The Droid Charge poop brown is ugly, especially with the new buttons that don't match. Not to mention TW3.0 just really isn't good looking overall. Now I've just seen a bunch of screenshots of the Stratosphere in the Engadget review, and the theme is a hideous olive/throw up green. Why? I sold a GS4G on T-Mobile the other day, loaded with 2.3 from the factory and it was a perfectly nice gray/blue theme. Why does Verizon have to punish their Samsung/LTE followers?
I would suggest that they devote few resources to theming, and that themes are generally chosen that are usable with decent contrast so that text is readable.
I just flashed the red Charged theme on stock/deodexed EP4D.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382949
If you like red, its badass.
Check the Themes and Apps forum for more goodness.
The major problem is that most users don't care as much about the theming and rooting as people on forums like this do. Usability is what they are after most of all. The brown works. Whether you like it or not, its bearable. But, if you really hate it: change it.
As another suggestion: There is an awesome Black and Blue theme on here that is amazing, and probably is the closest to the blue and grey theme you mentioned.
CoreDroid and "Black and Blue" are probably the two best third-party themes for the Droid Charge. Both of them are not gaudy, not over the top, etc. They do just enough changes to the interface to make it look good without changing too many things about the UI.
I used CoreDroid for some time and recently switched to "Black and Blue".
I've considered changing to the black and blue theme, I love the screenshots. However while I'm not a total noob, I have no idea how to deodex a rom, or even what that actually does.
I also beg to differ about the brown being easy to read. After the update, if you pull down the notification menu you'll notice that at least text messages are previewed in a nice shade of grey that you can barely read on top of the brown. Literally can barely see it.
I'm glad Verizon tried to change the theme, but really they didn't do any good at all. At least the brown and orange buttons matched the whole rest of the theme and you could read the notifications.

Just back up your phone with CWM 4.0.1.4 or prepare for reloading your phone. I used to be afraid of flashing frequently because I didn't have a quick way to get up and running with the large number of apps. Now I use the batch restore on Titanium Backup. Contacts are backed up on Google.
I would flash a ROM according to the instructions in its Original Post, then just flash a theme. I like Charged (red theme) quite a bit. You should know fairly quickly if it worked properly. Then just sign into Google, restore some apps, and you should good to go.
I've successfully restored from CWM backups, which is definitely nice if you just want to try a ROM or theme out and something gets borked. Its nice as well when you normally change a bunch of stuff with your phone's setup (animations and sound at bootup and shutdown are the first to go on my phone!)
They have poo fetishes. Nuff said.

Well, darker colors use less power so I guess that's a reason for their poor theme choices... but whatever. It never really bothered me as much as it seemed to bother everyone else on these forums.
Honestly, the biggest complaint i hear about this phone nowadays is the color... really? thats what you feel the need to complain about?

It's easily remedied with a theme, but still. The stock colors are pretty unacceptable.
But the poo colors are far from our biggest problems...

lololol j/k I kid... I do have a few complaints about the Charge but keep them to myself as we don't need more of that here, though I agree with kvswim that most are easily remedied (except for RIL source for CM7/CM9/ICS )
