For watching TV/videos on my computer while working on other tasks I wish there was a way to put the browser window (or a video player) into an overlay (an output-only window that becomes transparent on hover). The video window should behave exactly like a notification overlay.
Any chance I can achieve that aim?
[UPDATE] I just found an OS X app that seems to do exactly what I want on my Ubuntu machine. I post the link here to illustrate what kind of behaviors I imagine: http://mac-how-to.wonderhowto.com/how-to/watch-videos-while-you-work-with-floating-translucent-window-for-mac-0162916/
[UPDATE] Here a similar behavior is discussed on the VideoLAN Forums: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=1904
