Andrunko did the bindings to connect it to the hildon thing, but is done for "non-hildon" application (canola) :) but it needs a transparent window to be drawn on top of non EVAS applications : / If we have time we would like to invest more on this, and probably provide sources for those improvements also! Marcelo Hi Pupnik :

Andrunko did the bindings to connect it to the hildon thing, but is done for “non-hildon” application (canola) :) but it needs a transparent window to be drawn on top of non EVAS applications : /

If we have time we would like to invest more on this, and probably provide sources for those improvements also!

1) Only display letters (with black borders) and no ‘keyboard’ – let you actually see background.

2) A keyboard that can be manually raised and generates X input events – for use with non-hildon apps.

cheers,

If you download the source code you're going to be amazed that there's almost no code (more edje scripts - ok code). The plan is (when time is available) to redesign the whole keyboard, add some missing keys, maybe enable a "dev" friendly version etc an of course add a original visual. @Marco Actually gustavo choosed to do a “iphone” like to bring attention.

Realy amazing... And I agree with dudu, an trasnlucent keyboard, even being something beautiful, make that exhausting to read, and one day, you gonna want to disable that, maybe a button, or gesture with the finger, to make translucent, only to read, or see something behind... :D Wow! Realy amazing…

While in the translucent topic, why not make the background of the keyboard translucent too. Make the keys look that they're floating. ;) Cool!
