In addition, it's also possible to set a transparency key and override the canvas background. Anything with anti-aliased edges will look like crap, but it should make the canvas fully transparent while keeping components fully opaque (see attached).

ps. this actually punches holes in the window, so mouse clicks will go on through to Rhino. Also restoring the opacity leaves the GH window in a weird state.

thanks, these tools are great as well, making gh background transparent might be great for workflow if working on a single screen as i have to do pretty often. 

But in this case I was wondering, whether it was possible to get the png screenshots of rhino viewport saved from animated slider with transparent backgorund?
