Is there a way to make the standard Windows 8.1 on-screen touch keyboard semi-transparent? I simply want to be able to type underneath the keyboard and still see what I'm typing, like on the picture below.
Updated, also posted this as a suggestion on UserVoice.
There is an option which (sort of) does that for the old desktop on-screen keyboard (the touchscreen keyboard which has been there since Windows XP), but this one is not really usable:

There is no built-in option to customize the transparency of the default on-screen keyboard of Windows 8.1. You can either use FeeltheWheel or download a 3rd party on-screen keyboard. I recommend the former option.
Feel the Wheel (Feewhee)
By using Feewhee you can easily resize windows and control their transparency with a mouse wheel.
You can download it as a as a portable application (exe, 6Kb), or in a ZIP archive(zip, 4kb).

Is there some alternative way to use this Feel the Wheel program with a tablet (with no mouse)? Thanks.
