# isTransparentFocusItem

Indicates if the focus item is transparent, which allows items behind it to become focused.

```
optional var isTransparentFocusItem: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

The system ignores this value when the item is focusable, in which case the item is never considered transparent.
