Using Transparent Background Mode




Using Transparent Background mode, you can view the desktop and windows behind the SMART Notebook window and continue to interact with the open, transparent file. You can draw in digital ink on a transparent page and save your notes in the file. You can also display measurement tools, take screen captures and more. If an area of the screen doesn't include any SMART Notebook objects, you can select and interact with the desktop and applications behind the SMART Notebook window.

The background of the whiteboard area becomes transparent, allowing you to see the desktop and applications behind SMART Notebook, but any objects on the .notebook page remain visible.




The title bar, toolbar, taskbar and sidebar disappear, and the Transparent Background toolbar appears.
