Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Jun 4, 2020
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): affects Debian and a fresh install of Ubuntu, both on GNOME 3.36.2
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] On Debian, yes. On Ubuntu, no.
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When using the on screen keyboard with the Steam Controller, the keyboard's opacity is very low. It's impossible to use on bright or mixed screens. If you can get a black surface behind it, it looks normal though. No issues within Big Picture Mode.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Plug in Steam Controller
Summon OSK with Steam+Select or any other binding

I am also having this issue (on Arch Linux). Steam client Jun 4, 2020.

A crude workaround is to disable compositing (thereby disabling transparency), but then you lose all compositing.
If I have Picom/Compton running, the Steam Keyboard on desktop is barely visible on top of light backgrounds.

We all got Nvidia cards? Tried on my laptop that has Intel integrated graphics running the same software versions as my desktop in the first post and it's working properly.

I can't seem to be able to repro this on Mesa either.

Hello, per "Fixed a regression with transparent visual selection for SteamOS overlays and on-screen keyboard causing invalid rendering on NVIDIA configurations" in the 2020-08-05 steam client beta update, please opt into Steam's beta client and retest.

Hi,
I'm running the same issue with Steam on ubuntu 20.04 64-bit, with NVIDIA (440.100).
It seems the patch has been tested.
I don't really know about steam calendar updates, does someone know when it should arrive for the non beta version of steam ?

thank you anyway, i will wait, looking forward to re use the OSK :)
