Oh god no, I would be distracted so much and the playfield would be unreadable.

why would you want this in the first place?

This can be pretty interesting actually. Would be very convinient to see what's going on behind everything if you're used to playing fullscreen.
But I don't think it's easy to implement such a feature

This looks super sweet. Should be a visual settings option after the map has been completed, seeing as it potentially has the same effect as removing the background.

I really don't see the purpose of this.

What if my desktop background is purely red? awts. my eyes hurts so much....[Avail] wrote:
I ment only as in background totally transparent, hitcircles still at 100% opacity
EDIT:
I'd rather play with the provided background image, storyboard, and/or video from the beatmap set instead of using the transparency. The latter is more distracting than the former... =S

I'm neither for nor against.
Well I can see this work for those who has a clean and tidy desktop.
I just don't know if it's worth the effort though...

I can see its uses, but it just seems iffy at the same time.
A feature like this could be very interesting and pretty, but that's only if it's used properly. (it reminds me of the feature in VLC... right? where you can set playback to your desktop background, which can also be used for moving wallpapers.)Oinari-sama wrote:

However I'm pretty sure peppy has many more important things to work on, instead of a feature that probably very few users will make proper use of. Not to mention that it'll be relatively difficult to implement, in my opinion. Will it just show the desktop wallpaper as the background? Or will it include anything that's underneath osu!? It'll require snapshots of the windows/wallpaper underneath, there's no way you can have in-window transparency with DirectX/OpenGL applications. While it's still a very interesting thing to think of, it definitely don't think it's worth the effort.
1. this would slow your pc down, resulting in a worse gameplay. This would only be useful (if it really will be useful) for users with high end pcs
2. this is not possible under exclusive fullscreen. You'd have play on borderless fullscreen or just windowed.
3. there is an autohotkey script for changing the window's opacity. This works similar to RBRat3's suggestion. Get AutoHotkey and use this script (use winkey+mousewheel to adjust any window's opacity):
This feature would certainly look good, but it's not worth implementing since only a few people would use it mostly due to their pcs slowing down like hell. And even people with high end pcs wouldn't use it simply because it's distracting. I'm not against this feature, but I definitely don't see this being implemented.
