Transparent announcement screen

i would like to be able to put a custom announcement screen for my regulars. for example, C-Dub is an old country guy. what i did is made it tan leather-ish, barbed wire border, and a spur, his name written in rope. now i basically made a video of it with "all my rowdy friends" playing and add it to the fill in list. same for other regulars, just what fits their personality, kinda like the intros for pro wrestlers. put them in order of the singers in the fill in list, enable "go to next song on fill in after each singer", and have it show in the background of the announcement screen with the song name on top as if it was the actual background image. so basically it would just need another option for the background in "edit singer announcement screen" to have "solid color", "gradient", "image", or "transparent". in theory this seems like it would be a rather simple add. please....these screens are sitting on my comp now and i am dying to see it happen.
Adam, Piotr......can you guys help?

well, i guess i am alone on this one, :cry:
maybe so we could use videos under the announce screen instead of pics?

Paradigm, the only problem I see with this is that the fill-in playlist does not play videos. Although you could play it as a background for the announcement screen, but I think you won't have any audio to your background. This feature sounds like a good enhancement that I think a lot of KJ's would use. Piotr, any chance of this feature being added in the near future?

I need to think little more on how to make this work. But the idea seems interesting!
