Feature Req: Opacity option #57

I know this might seem kinda odd, but it would be cool if we could specify an opacity for mpvpaper to run at, i'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but it would be cool. Hopefully it would just work as an option like --opacity and then the value with 1 being opaque and 0 invisible i guess. I tried looking through to see if i could add this myself, but it seems far to complicated for me :(.

Not easily. As MPV does not natively support this feature. Perhaps with some kind of OpenGL shader? But I'm not entirely sure. Although, I don't see why you would want this feature in the first place. As when you normally use mpvpaper, you are running in the "background" layer. That means nothing is going to be behind the video to see.
