transparentscreenI used to scowl when I saw people walking down the street with eyes locked on their phones, but necessity has gotten me in the habit of doing it too.

Thanks to a new app called Transparent Screen though, now I can do it free from the fear of falling into an open manhole or into a large fountain.

No, that’s not a hastily Photoshopped image you see here, that's more or less exactly what you’ll see when the app is runningI say “more or less” because while all of the Android UI goes translucent upon launch, you’re afforded with quite a bit of a control over how dramatic the effect is.

It’s in your best interest to get familiar with the settings if you plan on using Transparent Screen for a while too, because you'll soon have some choices to make.
