I am not sure I fully understood, but the overlay window cannot be
transparent. You need a compositor to achieve the illusion of
transparency, and the overlay window is the target window where the
compositor creates that illusion, i.e., the overlay window itself cannot
be composited.
Your simplest option is not to make the OSD menu fullscreen, and just
stack it over the stage. If you want the OSD menu to be translucent, you
can either use the RPC approach suggested above to create it by the
process that owns the stage, or you need a compositor.
