By definitive, do you mean the final selected one? I was hoping to see what the 
reaction was to these mockups first, but the highlight (on key press) certainly 
wont be the blue gradient used in the existing maliit olpc-xo theme.  Expect a 
key press will be a simple monochrome darkening of a key fill (if we go for a 
light default key fill style), or a brightening of a key fill (if we go for a 
dark default key fill style). These parts of the style definition are simple 
png images, so easy to tweak.

The key layout is a more complicated affair as it requires modification of XML 
files for each language layout [1], so I'd rather lock down an agreed layout 
before I start trying to apply them to 40+ different languages – and yes I plan 
to script the edits as far as I can ;) FWIW, looks like this will be a patch 
set we need to apply to out builds as although maliit supports custom styles 
(olpc-xo is the one they added for us), their layouts are shared between all 
styles, so they would be unlikely to accept patches from us wanting to modify 
them all for Sugar's needs.
