Allow transparency in the 3D Viewport Viewport Overlay theme setting.

In the theme settings of the 3D viewport there is a setting for Viewport Overlay. This allows you to change the crosshair color when in camera fly mode. Currently you are only able to change the RGB values of the Viewport Overlay. It would be a great feature to allow for Alpha control in addition so that you can make it completely transparent if needed. Currently you are unable to turn of the crosshair. The ability to turn it off would allow for real time capture of flythrough animations using the camera fly/walk mode among other things.

Technically possible, but would rather see more use cases why it is important to use transparency. The case you're presented doesn't need transparency, hiding is enough. I can also see that having an option to hide the crosshair would also satisfy your goals. Or that the crosshair isn't rendered when overlays are turned off might be easier targets.

thanks, your suggestions make sense.
