Request: Transparent (overlay) window about ui

[andlabs]

Do you have a screenshot example?

Maybe he mean something like in Windows FadeTop program:
http://www.fadetop.com/

Some description (from review):

FadeTop can be configured to fade your desktop by overlaying it with a color of your choice after every few minutes.
Depending on the visibility of the screen dictated by the opacity of the overlay, it is entirely possible to access and interact with all programs running on the screen even during the break period, although doing that would defeat the very purpose of the program. You can also disable FadeTop, if the need arises. The idea is to provide a discreet way of reminding yourself to take a break without interfering with your work.

Actually I would like to have something similar to FadeTop on Linux so if ui could provide similar cross-platform functionality it would be nice.

@matrixik Exactly.

This is still a useful issue, especially with the last screenshot, which is just a utility window that can easily be added.
