Root Swype beta update and metamorph themes

Thank you, just what I wanted to hear!

Just one thing to note: the first time I applied the metamorph theme and rebooted, it didn't take. So I used Root Explorer to go into /system/app and take a look at swype.apk and saw something I hadn't noticed when I moved it. The permissions were set at, I believe rw-rw-rw (I can't remember the exact pattern, but it was something like that). When I went in and corrected the permissions to r--r--r--, then applied the theme again, it worked fine after reboot.
