Transparent background?

[Blankeos]

Anyway to do it? Cool fork btw!

[subframe7536]

Just implement it following be5invis/vscode-custom-css#236, and I havent tried it yet, cause I have no need for it.

You can setup custom-ui-style.electron just like apc to have a try

[Blankeos]

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I have tried:

"custom-ui-style.electron": {
   "transparent": true,
   "frame": false
}

No luck unfortunately. Here's the closest Reddit post of someone who's done it in APC I think (if you wanna give it a go as well): https://www.reddit.com/r/vscode/comments/19exkmj/mac_os_style_semi_transparent_sidebar/

Try to fix it using vscode-vibrancy-continued's logic

Released in v0.2.1

I tested this version in VSCode insiders, but not work.

[subframe7536]

Well, I have no bandwidth and I'm not really feeling up to fixing this issue lately.

So, PR welcome 👋

Okay wait lol guys. It does actually work. Actually... I'm not sure which worked:

1. This extension.
2. Or this monkey-patching solution. (this is basically what the extension does automatically) - I noticed that after I added my configs with @subframe7536 's extension, and open code /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-main/main.js, I do see the changes though so the Monkey patch might not be needed, just change it in the config.

HERE'S THE KICKER, I found that, it does reflect the change after I restart the whole computer! Not "restarting" or "reloading" VSCode (I just slept and woke up again lol). Not sure how to simulate a whole restart without actually restarting. frame: false does not seem to work though.

Also for the vibrancy (blurriness of the window, it differs per OS, I'm on a Mac), can refer to this: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-window#winsetvibrancytype-macos. Or just refer to that page for all the other settings on electron.

It's beautiful:

So, all the need to make it effect is just press CMD + Q ? I will add some tips in the Restart notification

[Blankeos]

CMD + Q doesn't work unfortunately. A whole restart seems to be needed to see the changes.

Wait lol scratch that. It does work. Apparently "opacity" only works and CMD + Q does work. I can't get vibrancy to work at all.

[Blankeos]

Anyway closing this since transparency is achieved. Vibrancy not yet though.

@Blankeos hello, Can you share your theme and icon theme?
