Which transparency? The one of an image or the window? If it's the window then it's easy with a:

Code: [Select]


window.Clear();

And what do you want exactly?

sf::Color(0, 0, 0, 255) is black.

Of course not. SFML can handle transparency inside the target window, but not make the window itself transparent. This must be done with special OS functions.
