Feature request: option to only show the sprites in the Sprites window #197

Description

@ecdhe42

In the Sprites window, add an option to only show the sprites and not the background and/or an option to put a rectangle around the sprites on the screen.

It can indeed sometimes be confusing to figure out what are the sprites and what aren't - especially on Supergrafx games where the Sprites window shows everything displayed by both HuC6270 graphic chips.

    In debug mode, there are already separate sprite windows for each VDC.

    In standard mode, hotkeys to enable/disable specific layers (like in Mesen or Ootake) would be useful.

    There are indeed separate sprite windows for each VDC, but in the screen part they show the exact same thing. You need to hover over each sprite to see where are each sprite.

    You mean, show all the visible sprites at the same time with a black background, right?
    No backgrounds, only sprites, and all of them, not only one.

    Yes. Just the sprites for that particular VDC.
