I was fooling around with the DesktopDateTimePicker and tried to change the Transparency.
So I change it: no visual change, so I run and no change too.
I set toogled the Boolan an i get the same result.
Here’s a snapshot:
I am dubious…
To quote the documentation: “Has no effect on macOS or Linux.”
No ! And I do not see that ! Unbelievale. I check…
YOU ARE RIGHT.
Usually they present that with an Icon in a Banner…
But, allowing the developer to click the Boolean let him suppose… it works. #Target is goot at that to disable the Boolean in the Transparent position.
I would highly recommend the Einhugur date and time controls. They are drawn in such a way that the transparency is mostly irrelevant, and also have a property MacHideBackground which can make them more immersive into your window if you need that as well. In my opinion they are more practical than the native controls in pretty much every way.

Thank you.
I had some times before a meeting and was spending my time.
I checked them but could not find a way to download them.
Any help?
Thank you
I always go to the “All of the Einhugur Plugins” page. Click “Plugins for Xojo” on the left to expand the menu section, and then “All of the Einhugur Plugins”
On that page, clicking the ( i ) will open the documentation. “Full Version” downloads the encrypted full version of controls (for those with a license key). Click “Free Demo” to download the demo version of controls which don’t allow building on macOS and Windows. They do allow Linux builds in the spirit of Linux (a little Einhugur special deal).
Don’t forget you can manage and update plugins with Plugins Pro, which is also able to decrypt Einhugur plugins if you have a key (we worked together on that 
)

Thanks Tim. I downloaded the demo version and imported in my project. Pardon my little experience but… how do I use it?
Thank you
Can you share some screen shots, so we can compare?
I’m sorry but in “All Controls” I don’t have a plug in control like you have. I don’t even know how to get it.
May it be because CalendarControl I use is a demo?
Where do you place the CalendarControl (in Plugins of the Xojo folder in Applications ?)
I suppose.
No. What did you install?
CalendarControl 10.0 for 19r2 or later
You put the CustomButton.xojo_plugin into the Xojo Plugins folder/directory and restarted the Xojo IDE?
Just a thought that on macOS sometimes quarantine flags don’t get cleared. Check that the plugin loaded correctly. From the bold Xojo menu, select “About Xojo” and a new window will open. Click the “Loaded Plugins” tab and look through the list to be sure the plugins have loaded correctly.
You can clear quarantine flags with this handy tool: GitHub - alienator88/Sentinel: SwiftUI gatekeeper configuration GUI
Or by command line:
xattr -cr {drop Xojo.app here}
The -cr means “clear flags recursively” but please don’t take my word for it, always run man {cmd} to read the instructions before running any commands you find on the interwebs!

Hi Sascha,
Thank you for the snapshots.
For the first screenshot, there are two times the control, the first is standard, the second haveGraphical Display = True and DisplayMode = DateOnly, with enlarged size (w and h).
The second screen shot (XAML), are-you able to set the date or is it like the standard DekstopDateTimePicker ?
I will explorate it.
XAML controls put ALL of the work Xojo should be doing onto you.
