I'd like to suggest a possibility of making the tag panel transparent, to the likening of the user To save precious space I started to use the tag panel in a non-docked way. It would be useful for me now to be able to make it transparent [choosing of course how much] and to make text behind it colored [using whatever color I would like to] Here is a simulation of such a transparent tag panel [please don't mind the large empty GENRE tag field; that was a quickly done presentation]: [![](http://s11.postimg.org/3lw0llbrz/mp3tag_1.jpg)](http://postimg.org/image/3lw0llbrz/) In this example the letters behind are red and the panel itself is set 85% [![](http://s11.postimg.org/bso0d61un/mp3tag_2.jpg)](http://postimg.org/image/bso0d61un/) In this example the letters behind are green and the panel itself is set 66% [![](http://s11.postimg.org/x3lkhfjz3/mp3tag_3.jpg)](http://postimg.org/image/x3lkhfjz3/) In this example the letters behind are light grey and the panel itself is set 50% Aside from a fact, that in all of those set ups the borders of tag panel are obstructing the view behind quite a bit, the ability to see what is [mostly] behind the panel can help: because in some case I am very likely not to have to scroll to see what is further on the right side; or have to close the tag panel [and then reopen it]. So, this would save me some annoying clicking and moving scrollbar - and thus speeding up my work I know, that many time what is behind would be more or less unreadable. But even as simple information of seeing right away, if further fields are empty, would be helpful. And if such a feature should be implemented, then an on / off switch should be provided, placed somewhere on the tag panel or [most preferably] with other icons on the toolbar --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/transparent-tag-panel/17644)._
