Ultra keyboard: tips and favorite skins?

I like ultra keyboard but I think you should make the trial just a little longer. Maybe 2 or 3 days instead of just 1. I didn't get enough use out of it yesterday to determine if I like it enough to buy it.
 
I second most of the opinions on this post...I've been using Ultra Keyboard (paid) since the Swype beta ran out and I love it. Couple of quirks: I use Handcent and for some reason setting the Smiley option for the Enter key refuses to work (this might be a bug with Handcent, but it used to work fine with Swype). Someone also pointed out here: gestures don't seem to work (at least with Evo)...if I try to swipe the keyboard using a left or right gesture, I'll typically just wind up typing a few keys.
 
I love the Ultra keyboard. I like leaving the tool bar on top, removing the arrows (since they are on the toobar anyway) and I select the smilies from the tool bar which is big time saver from previosu more>select>etc. Really like the toolbar. Have I said that already ;)? I also like being able to make my own colors and key heights, etc.

Ultra paired with Handcent makes texting almost 100% customizable.
 
I really love this keyboard on my Epic 4g. I'm currently using Handsent for any texting I do, and as I write something, the suggestions overlay what I'm typing. It does it in tracing mode as well. Any suggestions? It's driving me crazy as I can't see what I'm typing.
Thanks for the great work, otherwise.
 
I think for the money you can't beat the ultra keyboard! Customization is the key to getting your moneys worth.
 
I stumbled upon this thread looking for themes and noticed that the developer is around. No complaints, I just wanted to let you know that your app is great.
 
I like this keyboard.

Does anyone know how to have it type "I'm" instead of "IM".
I tried to blacklist "IM" but only "im" gets blacklisted.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Ha I was going to make the exact comment and then the very last post beats me to it. This is literally the only complaint I have with Ultra. I absolutely love it! the autocorrect is great. The biggest thing i love about the keyboard that it has over Swype is the ease of switching between tracing and typing. With Swype, when you try to type a website that isnt spelled how it is in the dictionary, you have to type it in one letter at a time, like normal. the only problem is that if you have fat fingers, inevitably, youre going to hit more than one letter, and then it trys forming a word. You spend more time trying to type in the url than you do at the actual website haha. With Ultra, typing, even with trace enabled, its so much easier. Ive sworn by swype and smart keyboard pro for months, but Ultra has been my recent new love haha. thanks for the great keyboard!
 
I must be doing something wrong. when I enable the trial of this and go to text, it still has the same old keyboard. Did I miss something?

On an entry box, (instead of typing) tap and hold and a popup will appear. Select the Input method option and then it'll give you the option to select which keyboard to use. Just select Ultra Keyboard from the list.

I stumbled upon this thread by accident...I also had the same problem...blaclist a word and it reappears.

I used to love this key board but I have the bionic now and have uninstalled and reinstalled and This keyboard just wont't under stand when I trace any more...not even close...I used to suggest this keyboard to everyone and now I can't get it to guess the correct word 50percent of the time...I also do not like the graduated key height...you know how the first line of letters is bigger than the rest...is it just me or my phone or did this keyboard go to crap?
