post_install() { cat << EOF Make sure to write this line to your custom stylesheet: html, atom-workspace {background-color: transparent;} Because Atom has preset background-colors on elements. You may need to reset more elements' background according to specific UI theme you are using. If you use tia-ui theme then just that line is enough. To run directly with /usr/bin/atom, use like this: atom --enable-transparent-visuals --disable-gpu append more option as you like. EOF }
