Hide any part of your screen behind a tinted screen. So useful it's not even funny. Thank me later.

Translucent Click-Through Overlay

This project creates a small, always-on-top, translucent, dark overlay window that can sit over any application (including games) without blocking clicks.
You can move it, resize it, and adjust its opacity entirely with global hotkeys, while keeping your focus on the app behind it.

Features

• Click-through overlay: Interact with the app/game behind the window while it’s visible.

• Global hotkeys (work anywhere, even if overlay is not focused):

  • Ctrl + H (pressed 3 times quickly) → Toggle overlay show/hide
  • Ctrl + Enter → Increase opacity
  • Ctrl + Backspace → Decrease opacity
  • Ctrl + Arrow keys → Move/nudge overlay by 10px
  • Ctrl + . → Increase overlay size (scale up by 20%)
  • Ctrl + - → Decrease overlay size (scale down by ~16.7%)
  • Esc → Hide overlay (if it somehow gets focus)

• Always-on-top and frameless

• Translucent black background with adjustable opacity

• Thread-safe hotkey handling with keyboard and PyQt5
