[Solved] Transparent PotPlayer

April 17, 2015 IT Support 49 Comments

PotPlayer is one of the best multimedia player on Windows. It is free to use and can play most video and audio formats. You can download at http://potplayer.daum.net.

Yesterday, I probably did something on PotPlayer and it became transparent. I can look through the video playback window including all menus and icons. Even when I’m watching a video clip, it still transparent and I can barely watch the clip as you can see below.

This is not a bug or issue on PotPlayer. It is likely that you may have accidentally changed transparency setting on PotPlayer. This article shows how to adjust transparency setting to original value.

Transparent PotPlayer

Solution

You may accidentally changed transparency setting which is a slider bar located at top right of the program when you moved the program window on the Desktop.

To fix it, simply move the slider to rightmost to change transparency setting back to 100% as in the figure below.

You can also change transparency setting from the menu by right-click on PotPlayer -> Skins -> Transparency -> Main -> select 100%.

    Yes, thankyou, that is helping. but i dont see the need of transparent exept if we can do something behind the player ( for example: i can run a shortcut of Aplication by double click it behind a transparent pot player). I’ll appreciate it, when you solve this issue, thanks.

    Thanks. that was well said, short and to the point.

  18. Am August 27, 2016

    Thanks for providing the solution. My original thought hat I did something accidentally to the player’s configuration was right, I’m just slightly annoyed that “resetting PotPlayer settings” did not fix the issue. It should have fixed the issue because it’s not its default configuration.

    Suddenly I got the same problem today.

    Thanks

    Why put in that option in the first place? Idiots making a top program with a stupid option making a lot of people reinstall it time after time.

    thank you so much

  32. Redvibe May 14, 2017

    Thank you. I think the transparency slider is a completely pointless tool and it should be removed in updated versions.

  33. amir karami May 23, 2017

    and i came here and solved my problem

  34. Bil May 25, 2017

    LOL, so many people have this problem, the Pot Player people should fix the poor UX, and basically get rid of that slider.
