Is it possible to make an AppGameKit EditBox transparent to the sprite image
under it?

I set: SetEditBoxBackgroundColor(Server_inp, Color1, Color2, Color3, 0)

and also tried: SetEditBoxBackgroundImage to a transparent image.

None of these makes the EditBox transparent to the background image under it.

Maybe there is a simpler solution than mine, I dunno

Create a off-screen editbox.
Create an own editbox fake.
By pressing on your editbox, the textinput of the off-screen editbox opens.
All text will be displayed in your own editbox with transparency.

This workaround should, as far as I know, work,
correct me if I am wrong.

That's a custom keyboard and editbox API I set up because we were having too many reports of issues with Android keyboards. This works 100% on sprites and supports hardware keyboard input. You could extend this to use anything you want for the editbox.
