Mac Make App Transparent
Implementation
The MainWindow class constructor expects an object as first parameter. In order to make our window transparent, we need to provide the transparent
and frame
property to true and false respectively:
Click the color you want to make transparent. This replaces the color with a gray checkerboard pattern, which means that part will be transparent. For example, if you have a white background and want it to be transparent instead, click anywhere on the white background to replace it with transparency. Fluidsim app for mac. Click any other colors to remove them as well. Yellow Transparent apples break down easily in cooking and make an especially good creamy white applesauce. They’re also good for freezing, drying, juice, and wine. If you’re looking for local apples in the summertime to hold you over until fall, Yellow Transparent is a good choice. In this example, we convert a non-transparent PNG signature into a transparent digital signature. The input PNG is the signature of Steve Wozniak (co-founder of the Apple computer company together with Steve Jobs). As the input PNG isn't transparent, we remove the background by entering the color 'white' in the transparent color field.
Tipically, if the transparent windows is meant to be the unique and initial, then you should make the changes in the main.js file:
That should make already your window transparent. Set as content of your index.html
file the following markup:
and execute the project using npm start
, your app will look like:
As you can see, the window is totally transparent and you can see VSCode at the background.
Limitations
- You can not click through the transparent area. We are going to introduce an API to set window shape to solve this, see the issue for details.
- Transparent windows are not resizable. Setting
resizable
totrue
may make a transparent window stop working on some platforms. - The
blur
filter only applies to the web page, so there is no way to apply blur effect to the content below the window (i.e. other applications open on the user's system). - On Windows operating systems, transparent windows will not work when DWM is disabled.
- On Linux users have to put
--enable-transparent-visuals --disable-gpu
in the command line to disable GPU and allow ARGB to make transparent window, this is caused by an upstream bug that alpha channel doesn't work on some NVidia drivers on Linux. - On Mac the native window shadow will not be shown on a transparent window.
Important notes
If the developer tools area is visible, the window won't be transparent anymore. If it's hidden or it's not shown then the transparent effect will be kept.
As probably no one wants a static window that can't be moved, allow the drag feature to an element by using CSS:
By adding the draggable-area
class to any element, it will allow the user to drag the entire window from that point. On some platforms, the draggable area will be treated as a non-client frame, so when you right click on it a system menu will pop up. To make the context menu behave correctly on all platforms you should never use a custom context menu on draggable areas.
Example
The following document will make a very simple transparent window with a couple of button actions and a draggable area:
The previous markup should generate an app like:

You have to turn off the 'Optimize' option at 'iCloud Photo Library', an even then, the old images on my iPhone continue to 'prefer' the jpg when sharing, only the newer ones (after I turned it off) are keeping the transparency. Not only that, but my iPhone keeps incessantly asking for me to turn it back on, what a horrible system.
But yeah, it is a big issue for me as well. The only way I can get the transparencies back is to send myself an email with the image, then iCloud finally shares the uncompressed version.
