I've been using https://github.com/baffler/Transparent-Twitch-Chat-Overlay for the functionality that this PR is going to add to Chatterino, very glad to see it finally happening. One major feature that is an oversight for many chat overlays is that it needs to have toggleable click-through, so that the widget can be sized and moved, but when toggled won't be able to be clicked or interfere with mouse pointer tracking in games and other programs.
