- Keyboard background image: set the Shan flag or one of your own photos as the keyboard background. Go to Appearance → Background Image. - Darken slider: dim the picture so the keys stay easy to read. - Key color and opacity: pick a color for the keys and make them see-through so your picture shows behind them. Key text switches between black and white automatically. - Fixes: theme backgrounds now show reliably, and the keyboard’s rounded corners look right on iOS 26.
