image descriptionplease, Jolla, fix your internet browser's keyboard transparency. The keyboard is so transparent it's almost impossible to use it. Dim the background, make letters outlined, whatever. Do it in good Jolla design. Thank you. (Or can we change that somewhere in the system?)

Screenshot from my Jolla:

I have no transparency issue. Maybe you are a lucky owner of a tablet?

the keyboard in the browser has no transparency at all.... (stock browser on the phone)

So @danfin and @misc11 have exactly opposite complaints.

@objectifnul well, i wouldnt call my comment a complaint... just a statement (i like transparencies though :-) )

btw: i cant see your screenshot objectifnul, the pic is not loading.

Seems you (or a patch you installed) did this. You can fix it by editing the file /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/jolla/KeyboardBackground.qml, lines 8-12 should be like this:

Rectangle {
    id: keyboardBackground
    color: Theme.rgba(Theme.highlightDimmerColor, 1)

    Item {

1 is the opacity value. You may have 0 instead.

thanks AliNa. Yes I changed that value bcause I wanted keyboard transparecy in Calendar app. Looks fine there, showing the theme background. But in Browser, showing the browser window's background, keyboard transparency looks awful. Just funny same transparency setting shows the app window or the theme image, depending on the app. also funny there's just zero or one to adjust transparency. Would be fun to dim transparency to one's liking: Especially in calendar, I'd really be happy to see some of the app through the keyboard.

Er ... the value is a float. It can range between 0 and 1, e.g. 0.2

neat, thanks! Something to play with. 0.5 works quite well. Remains the miracle of calendar showing ambience in background, browser showing app window in background (which makes more sense).

This is a miracle for you because you don't ever understand lines you changing. Changing random lines in code without any knowledge about things, how it works, is very bad idea.

@danfin: you should have written that in the OP, though.
