Changing backgroud color

[cijic]

Hello. There is a method to change background color for player?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

If I recall correctly, the background color is that of the embedding X11 window. LibVLC does not change the background; it just draws the video.

So, another question: can I draw semi-transparent window/widget (in Qt, for example) over the player? It can remain semi-transparent or it will be monotone (no it is so I have problem with that)? Or libvlc doesn't affect on it?

I don't use "widgets" or Qt. However, the controls are "semi-transparent" and appear over the playing video just fine.

If you provide your own window, you can do whatever you want over it. How well this works depends on the display drivers and video output method used.
