Realme: Change the Keyboard Theme

The default gray look of the Realme keyboard is not a fixed setting. It comes from Gboard, the input method built into Realme UI, which ships with a neutral theme until you pick something else.

To change it, go to Settings ➔ Additional settings ➔ Keyboard & input method ➔ Gboard ➔ Theme. This opens the theme picker with solid colors like red, green or blue, plus gradients and landscape backgrounds.

Pick any theme to preview it directly on the keyboard layout. If you want more control, choose Choose a Theme to browse the full list, or set a custom image from your gallery for a personal background.

Below the preview you can also switch Turn On/Off Key borders to add or remove outlines around each key, which helps with visibility on busy backgrounds. Tap on Apply to save the change immediately.

The new theme applies system-wide, so it shows up in every app that uses the keyboard, from messaging to browsers. If the keyboard still looks unchanged afterward, confirm that Gboard is set as your active input method under the same Keyboard & input method menu.
