Alleged Screenshot From HTC M8 Shows Off On Screen Keys

For a while now it has been rumoured that the upcoming HTC M8 will feature on screen keys.  Just yesterday we saw what those on screen keys might look like in another alleged leaked photo of the device (although I’m even more skeptical about those pictures now after seeing this photo).  Today we’re getting a screen shot allegedly from the device it self.  As always, take it with that usual grain or two but this does come courtesy of @evleaks who continues to be one of the most reliable leaksters on the web.

Unlike yesterday’s leak, the on screen buttons from the screen shot feature a transparent background opposed to a solid black background.  Now it’s possible that the background transparency or lack there of changes depending on the screen/app that is being displayed.  If my memory serves me well, the G2 likewise showcases a transparent background at times and a solid background at other times.

The reason that I feel this picture reduces the credibility of yesterday’s leak is that both shots showcase the home screens (albeit this one appears to be on Blinkfeed).  Even if the background behind the buttons is solid at times, I would imagine that it would always be transparent on the home screens.

What do you guys think?  Does this discredit the previous leak?  And what are your thoughts on the on screen keys?  Like em or hate em?
