Main features:
- universal = works in most Ren'Py games
- easy to add = extract to the root folder of the game*
- easy to remove = two files to delete (y_outline.rpy and y_outline.rpyc) in the subfolder named "game"
* where the executable file of the game is

Known problems:
A temporary solution for the incompatibility problem implemented in v2.4.10
A permanent solution found for the hidden/inactive/missing quick menu problem and implemented in v2.6. Just hit Alt+m in case quick menu is hidden and it should appear. In case it doesn't, please let me know about it.
Incompatibility of the patch v2.4.7 and newer with older versions of Ren'Py (older than v6.99.14).
What does it mean?
If the game is made with a Ren'Py SDK older than v6.99.14, the game will crash with the transparency patch v2.4.7 and newer.
What is the solution to the problem?
In case after adding my patch to the game the game will crash with an error message:
File "game/y_outline.rpy", line 157: u'pagekeys' is not a keyword argument or valid child for the viewport statement.

- In case quick menu is hidden in some games and after applying transparency patch
v2.5 v2.6 or newer it won't appear when you hit (repeatedly) Alt+Shift+M Alt+m, you may have to save the game once and then load that save. This should activate quick menu.

$ quick_menu = True
manually via console. Starting a new game sometimes also works.
The boring stuff:
Some time ago I made a patch for myself to remove the dialog box background from Ren'Py games and a little later thought that some users here may like it, too. So I posted it in one of the game threads first, then added a link to my sig, but I didn't think that it would deserve a separate thread here.
Now I created this thread only to make getting feedback from users easier. Especially because I started to add game-specific overrides to my patch now and I'd like to keep it all in one place.
One important request:
Please, let me know about the games where my patch isn't working or creates problems and I'll try to take a look at them and find a way to fix it.
TL/DR: (read when you're stuck or have questions)
This is the important part of the current README file of my patch:

Added a for restoring Ren'Py keymap in games where it's been partially disabled or messed up. It was made specifically for the
Chasing Sunsets game, but works as well for other Ren'Py games.
