Thanks for all your help! I actually do not have a toolchain set up (though in the coming months I plan to set one up). If you wouldn't mind updating the SHR-U feed to the latest unstable, I would be more than happy to test it out for you =). I think transparent keyboards in illume is certainly something that we have needed for a long time....
(PS. I kept trying to send this email directly to you, but your mailer-daemon keeps rejecting because "it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6)".)
