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.

windows 8 on-screen keyboard



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:



desktop keyboard






windows windows-8 keyboard windows-8.1 touchscreen

          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.

          0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
