In this video, John Elder of Codemy will teach us how to turn windows into transparent. Generally, this can be done easily by using the attributes function and the Alpha method. Simply set your desired parameters and the app can be launched and shown in whatever transparency level you set. Interestingly, John will also teach us how to add additional functionality including a slider that allows us to change the opacity when the app is already running. To learn more, feel free to watch the tutorial video below.
