Hey folks,

I am looking for a possibilty to have my splits and timers to be displayed with a trabsparent background. I've seen this on some streams (like Trihex's or Cosmo's). Maybe I am just blind but I can't find any option to do this in the tools I've tested so far (SplitterZ and wSplit)

That's done within the streaming software, a feature called Color Key. Both OBS and Xsplit can do it. Go to the properties for your split window, enable Color Key, and use the eyedrop tool to select the background color.

Another option is to set a background image in the timer program to give the appearance of transparency. I added that to my Time Split Tracker some time ago.

Nice. Thank you.

There is also a new split program (Livesplit) that has a plugin that will do this for you. Chroma-key is still a better option, IMO.
