A 'transparent' keyboard would have a high 'coolness' factor, but I think it would be hard to really see what you are typing (not to mention the technical limitations pointed out by rasterman). Maybe it would be better to have a full-screen input mode where you can see what will be typed (maybe keep the rightmost 20-30 characters of the string visible in the keyboard app, then actually pass it to the program when leaving 'full-screen' mode or pressing 'enter', etc). That still allows you to see what you are typing with a full-screen keyboard (which is what it seems most people are wanting from the transparency). Extra points could be awarded for allowing applications to give the keyboard app a description of the 'active' field to be displayed in a 'full-screen' mode. -- Eldon Koyle -- The graveyards are full of indispensable men. -- Charles de Gaulle _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
