And a version for Windows that is transparent and just blurs the background. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsima Posted June 19, 2019 at 11:45 AM Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 at 11:45 AM This works so well, I just tried it while watching the news, not only does it block subtitles, you can stretch it out so it covers all the annoying scrolling stock market info too, so much easier to focus. thanks for sharing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurstmann Posted June 19, 2019 at 02:01 PM Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 at 02:01 PM I don't know why I didn't come up with that idea earlier. I was always using some other window to cover up the subtitles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurstmann Posted June 20, 2019 at 07:55 AM Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 at 07:55 AM I only made one small Android app before, so I'm not very familiar with that. It seems to be quite the hassle to make an app stay on top of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Android, but on iOS there are restrictions on apps so they can't take over other apps screens. I imagine a similar thing will exist on Android as it's ripe for abuse. Edit: It seems Android might allow it, but Google is cracking down on apps that use it and they'd like to just get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigZaboon Posted June 20, 2019 at 09:28 AM Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 at 09:28 AM It seems that on my phone, there is a category in the permissions section about allowing apps to display on top of other apps, but I don't know much about the current politics of future Android functionality...

There you go. Beware of bad code, I hacked the app together in like 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurstmann Posted June 21, 2019 at 01:28 PM Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 at 01:28 PM I added a transparent version that should be less intrusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherrylS Posted June 29, 2019 at 08:20 PM Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 at 08:20 PM Thank you for making this application! How do you use the transparent version? I downloaded the .net framework, but it just displays a slightly dark transparent bar without the blur. The black version works no problem. I'm using a windows 7 computer.

Wurstmann Posted July 4, 2019 at 03:34 PM Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 at 03:34 PM I updated the transparent version. It doesn't stay on top anymore, so watching in full screen isn't possible right now. Turns out transparency and blur are hard to achieve But now the blur is much stronger, you really can't read anything anymore. @CherrylS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
