Transparent window
-
Is it possible to create a transparent window? This example will create rounded corners, showing that there is no transparency. The window is white. If I can not achieve window transparency, my only option would be to "use native window". That would create a window title bar, and does not match other web browsers with a header bar.
body { background-color: transparent !important; } #browser.linux { background-color: transparent !important; border-radius: 20px; }

Atm you can’t get transparency. I used to have pseudo-transparency by setting the same bg image as the desktop wallpaper & moving it when the window moved. For rounded corners specifically, you can also use a compositor (e.g. ibhagwan’s picom fork).

@keilmillerjr Thats a bummer. I would rather have an app that matches the desktop environment than one that does not.

Why do you want any part of a window to be transparent? How do you read the content if an image or text underneath it is showing through?

Re-read my initial post. I'm using the gnome de with adwaita compact dark theme. It has rounded window corners and transparent shadow. It would be nice to replicate this.
