Question: Can you draw upon a transparent window/canvas?

[niko-dunixi]

Hello, I was wondering if there was an equivalent to the ebiten example that draws on a transparent window giving the effect of drawing upon the desktop? The relevant relevant code they have is in their mascot example:

$ go run -tags=example github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/v2/examples/mascot@latest

I tried setting my canvas background color but this doesn't seem to be enough, because the background still shows up as black.

common.SetBackground(color.Transparent)

Is there a way to manage the window's settings/configuration to do the same thing? Is there a way to signal this to the glfw library underneath?

Hello,

You can access the underlying window with engo.Window, and should be able to use the glfw package as you normally would. However, if you want to compile using a different backend, such as SDL, web, Android, etc. then you'll need to use those respective packages instead of glfw

Hope this helps!
