Title:
  Add option for semi-transparent keyboard

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  OK, this is not a real bug, rather a characteristic. But one that can be easily solved, thus I'd like to make a feature request.
  Especially in the landscape mode, the onscreen keyboard takes up a large portion of the screen. Potentially it can overlap the window where the text is being typed into, so you cannot see what you're typing.
  This could be VERY easily solved by letting users to set transparency level for the entire onscreen keyboard. Attached is my concept of maliit keyboard at 70% opacity on Ubuntu Touch phone, in landscape windowed mode.

  UX fix
  In System settings, the on screen keyboard option will allow a user to set the opacity for their OSK.

  This will be a slider in the on screen keyboard option in system
  settings, with the options to set opacity from 50%-100%
