I honestly can’t think of any scenario in which this would actually be useful.

Nothing useful, but pondering this unearthed a deeply buried memory. Way back in the day I jailbroke my iphone 4. There was a theme you could instal through Cydia called “Glasklart” that replaced your icons with beautiful hand crafted transparent ones. There was also a program that let you use your away-facing camera’s preview pane as a homescreen wallpaper. The result of combining the two was seriously beautiful for the half hour my battery would last haha.

As an aside, wow both of those old things are still up on Cydia too. I switched to android and stopped following all things jailbreak, but it looks like Glasklart kept receiving updates all the way into 2017

    So your use case is having your desktop show a live view of what’s on the other side of the screen to make it appear transparent? Okay.

    What if it’s just your desk and the wall behind it?
