GhostWin
A lightweight window transparency and click-through tool
Make any window transparent, always-on-top, or enable "click-through" mode to take full control of your desktop space. Native WinUI 3 experience, 100% offline.
Your Desktop's Invisible Companion
Have you ever wanted to see through a window without minimizing it? Wished a reference image could float semi-transparently over your canvas? Or maybe you'd like to watch a video discreetly without your boss walking by?
GhostWin is the tiny utility built for these scenarios. It can make any window transparent, pin it on top, or let your clicks pass straight through it.
🚀 Features
- Transparency Control Adjust the opacity of any window in real time with a slider, from fully opaque to nearly invisible.
- Always on Top Pin a window above all others with one click — it stays visible no matter which app you switch to.
- Click-Through When enabled, mouse clicks pass straight through the target window to the application beneath it. Perfect for working behind a transparent overlay.
- Crosshair Capture Drag the crosshair onto a target window to add it instantly. You can also add windows directly from the background window list.
- Multi-Window Management Control multiple windows simultaneously, each with independent transparency, always-on-top, and click-through settings.
🛡️ 100% Offline & Secure
