MISSING FEATURE HASN'T RETURNED?

The Good lock module: Keys Cafe, on One UI 7.0 and above, has lost the ability to adjust key button transparency, which allowed the keyboard background or custom wallpaper to be visible through the keys.

It is important to note that transparent keys are currently only available through the theme park Standalone keyboard customization. However, as soon as any Keys Cafe customizations or effects are applied, the transparency is immediately REMOVED and replaced by an opaque color layer. Users are essentially forced to choose between having a see-through look in theme park -or- having the advanced effects of Keys Cafe, as the two can no longer coexist.
 
The technical regression, which I noticed possibly as early as one UI 7.0, is specific to the transparency slider for the key color within the key style editor of Keys Cafe. Previously, this slider controlled the opacity levels of the keycaps which enable translucent themes by allowing the background image to show through. In the current state of One UI 7.0 and above, the slider for the key color has been functionally remapped to adjust only the value of the color brightness, causing the key to darken or lighten rather than become transparent.
 
This software limitation hinders the high-level of device personalization which Samsung is valued for. See screenshots for comparison example.

Their customization is one of the only reasons I use a Samsung! If they start losing that I'm out.
