maybe a gray tree frog? I hve 1 and they are great eaters and are real fighters

Definitely do a gray tree frog if you want a frog you can see. They're always sleeping out in the open during the day, mine never hide. However you might want to consider making the lights brighter, increasing ventilation if its really moisdt in there and adding large horizontal perches- it will improve their coloration and they seem to enjoy 'basking'.

Nice set up but what size is the tank? It kinda looks maybe in the 10gal range by the pic. I wouldn't put tree frogs in anything smaller than 20gals or you'll here them bashing off the sides at night. I think with that tanks probably more suited to thumbnail darts.

A gray is fine in a 10 gallon.

Even though they're small, gray tree frogs as I'm sure you know jump long distances and are very active at night. They will be very limited in a 10-gallon, sure you can keep one in there but for a little bit of extra money you can make the life of the animal so much better. Some books I've read have recommended a 10-gallon, whereas others it's been at least 20-gallons. I keep 2 green tree frogs in a 20-gallon and I wouldn't put them in anything smaller but it will come down to the keeper in the end.

What I do is leave open space for jumping in the middle of the tank, and wedge a bunch of horizontal branches at the very top and put lots of structure in the bottom. They sleep on the branches during the day and come down to the floor at night. The only time they jump around like you said is when they're stressed out, like right after I move their vivarium. If a 20 gallon is big enough for a whites tree frog, why wouldn't a 10 gallon be more than enough for a gray?
