GlowTyping

GlowTyping is a minimalist keyboard layout indicator for Windows 10/11, made for everyone who types in two languages every day.

Instead of a tiny indicator hidden in the taskbar corner, GlowTyping shows your current keyboard layout as a soft, semi-transparent colored border around the whole screen. You notice it with your peripheral vision without looking away from the text — so you simply never start typing in the wrong layout. Prevention instead of correction: it never re-encodes or touches your input.

Key features:

• Instant reaction: the border color changes the moment you press Alt+Shift / Win+Space — not when you release the keys.
• Unobtrusive: a thin, semi-transparent border; mouse clicks pass through.
• Works on all monitors, above fullscreen video and games.
• One simple config file: colors, width, transparency per language; changes apply live.
• Fully portable: no installer, no registry entries; delete the folder and it's gone.
• Private by design: it never reads, records, or sends what you type. No analytics, no tracking.
