Keyboard UI broken for key pressed

• /e/ version: 0.20
• Device model(s): any?
• Device rooted: no

Summary

The keyboard UI has been modified with a weird look & feel when a key is pressed

The problem

In 0.20 the keyboard keys have a new color from black on white keys to white on black keys, and some transparency has been added.

The resulting look in light mode is odd and the purpose of this change is unknown.

In dark mode it's better but the transparency layer remains unnecessary in my opinion.

Before (0.19):

After (0.20):

#4136 (closed)

Part of the concern is about the process:

• are there some reference mockups for this change?
• who decided to add a transparency layer and invert pressed key colors?
• who approved the final implementation?

Solutions

This should be fixed in the next release, and we should reinforce the UI validation processes: at least Rhandros and me have to be asked to validate any UI change in /e/OS and ecloud.global.
