First time Stack Overflow poster. Please bear with me! :)

I have a set of UITextFields whose keyboard appearance I set in Interface Builder. I'm using the UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert appearance (the translucent look) for my keyboards. However, whenever I call resignFirstResponder on any of these text fields to dismiss the keyboard, the keyboard's appearance defaults to UIKeyboardAppearanceDefault as it slides out of view. 1) Is there somewhere else that I need to set the appearance of the keyboard, 2) is this a bug with Interface Builder, or 3) am I just out of luck? While it isn't a huge deal, it is slightly jarring to suddenly see the keyboard change style as it's sliding down. Note that this behavior does not exist when the keyboard is sliding up into view as a result of my text field's becoming the First Responder, so it's a bit perplexing. Any insight?

In case anyone is curious, this issue seems to have been fixed in SDK 3.0. The rendering of the keyboard stays the same when being dismissed now.
