The action “Display Text Large” has great potential in a system of macros for memorizing.
I’m using it to memorize foreign language vocabulary.
But the ugly gray/black display color was a problem.
Searching this forum found a link to documentation for KM's hidden preferences.
So, instead of complaining, or begging for a feature request, I simply followed instructions and got a pleasing result:

(Note 2: The foreign language you see above is Thai -- The Kingdom of Thailand, not the Republic of Taiwan.)
I've read those hidden prefs before I got to this thread; I'm just not seeing the pref for transparency or other options for Display Text Large; it has only two listed options for duration and text color. Is this in the 'Custom Palette Theme' CSS section, rather than under the only two options listed for Display Text Large? Or in the four years since you posted this, has KM 9 eliminated more prefs for DisplayTextLarge? @peternlewis?
It's always a transparent window. The color preference includes alpha. Carriage Returns are supported for multiple lines of text, and the text determine the font size - basically it is as large as can be and fit on the screen. So a long line of text results it a smaller font size.
