😎\n\n### Some Helpful Features:\n```c#\nprotected override void Initialize()\n{\n    // The window will stay in the background - even on user interaction.\n    TransparentWindowManager.Window.KeepInBackground();\n\n    // Keeps the window in the foreground, preventing it from being moved to the back.\n    TransparentWindowManager.Window.KeepInForeground();\n}\n\nprotected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)\n{\n    // Ensure window stays in the back.\n    if (TransparentWindowManager.Window.IsForegroundWindow())\n    {\n        TransparentWindowManager.Window.SendToBack();\n    }\n\n    if (TransparentWindowManager.Window.IsPixelOpaque(mousePoint))\n    {\n        // The pixel under the mouse cursor is opaque!\n    }\n    else\n    {\n        // The pixel under the mouse cursor is transparent!\n    }\n}\n```\n\nMore helpful stuff and features inside! 🔎\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e Only works with a **MonoGame.Framework.WindowsDX** project!\n\u003e A **MonoGame.Framework.DesktopGL** project **doesn't work** - even if compiled for windows!\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e Check out the **integrated sample project**, which shows the invisible MonoGame window in action.\n\u003e It's much smoother than in the video. You need to see it for yourself!\n\n### 💖 Now Have Fun with MonoGame.Invisible! 🕸️\n\n\u003e [!IMPORTANT] \n\u003e PS: If you create such a Desktop-Game with MonoGame.Invisible, then please let me know. This is not neccessary, but I would be happy to add a link to your game here on this site! :)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fblizzcrafter%2Fmonogame.invisible","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fblizzcrafter%2Fmonogame.invisible","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fblizzcrafter%2Fmonogame.invisible/lists"}
