Change the color of the keyboard in windows phone 7?

When people select the light theme the keyboard changes to a light color. Unfortunately this doesn't contrast very well with the branding in the app I'm making. I'm not sure if we can do this but is it possible to change the background and foreground of the keyboard or is this dependent on what theme the user has selected?

I originally thought it wasn't possible but with Mango we can change the system tray and app bar. Seems like the keyboard could be modified also.

It's somehow possible. When using Jeff Wilcox PhoneThemeManager and forcing LightTheme when it's dark, keyboard color is also changed.

It's not possible as confirmed in this thread. The creator of that post has submitted a request here which you can vote on if you like.
