So what it boils down to is that the Swipe Color is what we call RGB color coding. I suggest a site like this to see values you can use:
Hex to RGB Color converter
Thats it folks.. swipe color squashed!!!!
Verified to work on N3 KeyBoards
A Little clarification on Instructions.
I was swamped with questions on how to edit and such.. So with @strongsteve help we dug more and here is an easier way to get your colors instead of trying to use RGB values..
change code:
Code:
const/16 v1, 0xa5
const/16 v2, 0xf3
to
Code:
const v3, 0x33
const v1, 0x66
const v2, 0xcc
Then just use any normal Hex Color code you would normally use!!!
In the above example I used 3366cc which is DarkHorse Blue..
I hope that helps

Sorry... can someone post what those lines should look like once they have been changed to a diff color? I'm not sure exactly what in those lines I should be changing (I do understand the color codes).
Sorry for the noobish question.

You would be changing the codes themselves.
i.e ff or a5, or whatever...
I will write up more in a bit..

Thanks for clarifying the coding changes.... one last (what I am sure if dumb) question. where does one find that file. I am rooted and searched the device for both "smali" and "diotek" using ES file Explorer and have not found the file referenced above.

Its contained inside the SamsungIME apk itself. It has to be decompiled and MODed
