Translucy lets you play movies
from any source —files or DVDs et al—
in your desktop or over all windows
in a translucent click-through window
at any size you want.
Must be seen to be believed...!
This app is awfully buggy sometimes, and you can do the same thing with any fullscreen video player, SIMBL, and the free Afloat plugin. It's a good idea, but not the best execution.
I'm a registered user of TransLucy 1.0, and I'm sure not planning on upgrading to version 2 anytime soon. Last time I checked it was buggy to no end, and I don't like that I don't get some sort of upgrade discount. They'd have done better to just improve things like checking previously viewed DVDs instead of this overdone new interface.
