Problem
Right now the Fluxer desktop client does not support a transparent main window.
I can set all background theme tokens (e.g.
--background-primary,
--background-secondary, etc.) to
rgba(0,0,0,0) using the custom CSS overrides, which makes the UI backgrounds transparent. However, the actual app window itself is still opaque, so I only see a solid window background instead of my desktop/compositor behind Fluxer.
This makes it impossible to integrate Fluxer cleanly with my transparent desktop setup (Hyprland style transparency).
Proposed solution
Add an option for a transparent (or acrylic/blurred) main window in the desktop client.
- Enable a transparent window mode in the Electron configuration (e.g.
transparent: true on the BrowserWindow and no solid background color). - (Optional) Support platform‑specific blur/acrylic effects where available.
With this in place, users who already set
--background-* tokens to
rgba(0,0,0,0) can have the Fluxer UI and window fully transparent down to the desktop.
