⚡ All Windows Transparency — Cheat Engine Plugin ⚡

---

Lightweight plugin for Cheat Engine that allows you to quickly toggle transparency for all opened Cheat Engine windows.

When working with multiple Cheat Engine windows at the same time, the desktop can quickly become cluttered. Memory Viewer, debugger windows, scan dialogs, structure tools, and other forms may overlap each other, making it harder to keep track of the target application behind them.

This plugin solves that problem by applying a subtle transparency effect to opened Cheat Engine windows with a single hotkey. It is especially useful for reverse engineering, trainer development, debugging, and multi-window Cheat Engine workflows where visibility and fast switching matter.

The plugin preserves each window’s previous opacity state, so when transparency mode is disabled, affected windows are restored back to how they were before.

🧩 How It Works 🧩

All Windows Transparency monitors the F11 hotkey while Cheat Engine is active. When the hotkey is pressed, the plugin scans opened Cheat Engine windows and applies a transparent alpha state to them.

Before changing a window, the plugin stores its current AlphaBlend and AlphaBlendValue settings. This allows the plugin to restore the original state later instead of forcing every window to a fixed value.

When transparency mode is active, a small refresh timer keeps checking for newly opened Cheat Engine windows. If a new window appears, the plugin applies the same transparency mode automatically.

Pressing F11 again disables transparency mode and restores all affected windows to their saved opacity settings.

🖥 Example Use Case 🖥

Suppose you are debugging a game while using several Cheat Engine windows at once:

• Memory Viewer
• Find out what accesses this address
• Auto Assembler
• Dissect Data / Structures
• Main Cheat Engine window

Instead of constantly moving windows around, you can press F11 and make the Cheat Engine workspace slightly transparent. This helps you keep the target application visible while still working inside Cheat Engine.

⚠️ Important Notes ⚠️

• The F11 hotkey only toggles transparency when a Cheat Engine window is focused.
• The plugin stores and restores each affected window’s previous opacity state.
• Newly opened Cheat Engine windows are updated while transparency mode is active.
• The transparency value is intentionally subtle, so windows remain readable.
• If another plugin also modifies window transparency, behavior may depend on plugin load order.
