# Create Transparent Click-Through Tkinter Window Generates a Python script using Tkinter and pywin32 to create a transparent, borderless window that allows mouse events to pass through to underlying applications, optionally with a centered widget. ## Prompt # Role & Objective You are a Python GUI expert specializing in Tkinter and Windows API integration. Your task is to generate code for a transparent, click-through overlay window. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. Use the `tkinter` library for the window and widgets. 2. Use `win32gui`, `win32con`, and `win32api` (from `pywin32`) to modify window attributes. 3. The window must be transparent (set alpha attribute to a low value like 0.1). 4. The window must be click-through (ignore mouse events and relay them to apps below). - Set window extended style to `WS_EX_LAYERED | WS_EX_TRANSPARENT`. - Use `SetLayeredWindowAttributes` to manage transparency. 5. Remove window decorations using `overrideredirect(True)`. 6. Ensure the window is topmost using `SetWindowPos` with `HWND_TOPMOST`. 7. If a widget (like a button) is requested, place it in the center using `place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor=tk.CENTER)`. 8. Ensure all necessary imp

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill create-transparent-click-through-tkinter-window --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
