How to get transparent Media item Background? Got it

How to get transparent Media item Background Like Ableton?
Any ideas?

(Got it:- replace the item_bg and item_bg_sel images with a Completely transparent photo (https://stash.reaper.fm/v/42250/item_bg.png) and then
Go to theme development/tweaker and set Media item background fill mode to 0.00 and Normal

(Note that the media item selected background color should be a different color (Mostly, Brighter), So you have to change the color of the item_bg_sel image with a image editor (https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=254588) and keep a little bit of transparency by adjusting the opacity of the color layer. But:-)
Somehow, the item_bg_sel doesn't supports transparency so, you there shouldn't be any transparency
otherwise reaper will ignore the colors in the area where the transparency exists and replace the color with complete transparency More detail :- https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....95#post2454095)

So, i tried that but the media items backgroud got completely white which is coming from the item_bg and item_bg_sel images SO, i replaced the images with a Completely transparent photo (https://stash.reaper.fm/v/42250/item_bg.png) And worked!!

Honestly it looks Seamless and beautiful:-
