Description
## Summary
Would be useful to be able to turn off Ping Viewer's background when using the Ping360, so that it can show as just the sonar scan region (circle or sector).
## Additional information
This would make it easier to use Ping Viewer as an overlay on a video stream or similar, while only covering as much as absolutely required.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Ping360 view and its background-rendering path, then identify how display options are exposed. Done means the background can be hidden while the sonar scan region remains visible for circle and sector views, with the existing display behavior preserved by default.
