MonoGame.Invisible makes your MonoGame window fully transparent!

Look for yourself:

Now you can create one of those hyped "Desktop-Games" with the MonoGame.Framework... if you know what I mean :)

How To Use It?

Creating an invisible MonoGame window with this library is as easy as:

protected override void Initialize() { TransparentWindowManager.Setup(this, graphics); _windowManager = TransparentWindowManager.Create(this, TransparencyMode.ColorKey, new Color(1, 1, 1)); _windowManager.Initialize(); base.Initialize(); } protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime) { _windowManager.BeginDraw(); spriteBatch.Begin(); // Your Drawings here! spriteBatch.End(); _windowManager.EndDraw(gameTime); }

[!NOTE] Only works with a MonoGame.Framework.WindowsDX project! A MonoGame.Framework.DesktopGL project doesn't work - even if compiled for windows!

[!TIP] Check out the integrated sample project, which shows the invisible MonoGame window in action. It's much smoother than in the video. You need to see it for yourself!

Now Have Fun with MonoGame.Invisible!

[!IMPORTANT] PS: If you create such a Desktop-Game with MonoGame.Invisible, then please let me know. This is not neccessary, but I would be happy to add a link to your game here on this site! :)
