use the alpha channel to allow fluent markup over videos, I really like epic pen open source project it has probably the best design and customization for marking up your windows, I also like mischief approach to drawing that Milton has with the infinite canvas that could really help bring a fluid experience to make mind maps when watching moocs and video tutorials, so after seeing the setup that milton uses for background color and suspecting it has and alpha channel the implementation could be the awesome fusion that i need, they only other suggestion would be some more shortcuts like ctrl + spacebar to easily zoom in and out, to be the end all open source app

Thanks gabrielqv! I think I would like this feature too. Added it to my To-Do list. It would be cool to just set the background alpha but it seems to me like making the whole window transparent is more possible.

Well the thing is that you lose the visibility of your own drawings, the all transparent approach is used in mischief already, i hope there's an elegant code solution !
