Video transparency when overlapping other windows

may_hem1 · #1 (**permalink**) 11th April 2003

I like watching videos at the same time as browsing Web pages or when playing games. The problem is that I can't see all of the video at the same time as seeing all of the Web page or seeing all of the game window. It would be great if BSPlayer could make transparent the part of the video that overlaps other windows. This way I could read the Web pages and not miss any part of the video. I guess a custom transparency percentage would be best.

Thanks,

May

I agree, this is a really good idea. The nVidia Radeon drivers/player has something like this, and it's really useful. It basically lets you make the window always on top and partially transparent.

Any thoughts on this from the BSPlayer team?

Bump! :!:

I'm missing this feature already...

Is it difficult to implement? Doesn't Windows XP support transparent windows? I know that my Trillian instant messaging client lets me make any window a custom transparency level. Surely this isn't beyond the BSPlayer team?

Thx,

Hello? Are the BSPlayer team reading this?

Any plans to include this feature?

Thx,
