Transparent Image as a GUI for a simple cross-platform Go application

Getting Help
1

Hello,

I have started to work on a project where I will need to build a simple cross platform GUI app in Go that will display transparent image on the desktop (like this one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Golang.png - transparent background) always on top, no window decorations. I have never built anything like this and I found couple of libraries for that: https://go.libhunt.com/categories/494-gui (have tested few)

Maybe anyone could suggest which library might be better for this type of work and maybe any examples?

Many thanks!

I would start with QT and trying out Qt::FramelessWindowHint to see if that works.

Hello,
haven’t done anything concrete with it yet, but I think that Sciter (go-sciter) could be good for that.
I began looking at it recently. the examples in go-sciter are limited, but there are more in sciter SDK…
