Mouse events cannot be passed to the window beneath especially in the transparent window mode, it just view the elements but prevent interaction.

I want to be able to create an app to be able to annotate over desktop with pen mode, and also interact with the desktop icons with cursor mode. So, i created a full-screen transparent window and a tool bar with two icons (pen and arrow). in pen i can draw and annotate over the transparent area, while in arrow mode the mouse ignore the transparent window and pass events to the desktop window (on the transparent pixels) with maintaining the drawn objects on screen

I'm not saying it's not possible but it will be like a core part of your app's functionality. I don't think you'll find any plugin for that. You should implement it yourself or use win32 package. Something that is this much platform specific should have own custom implementation.
