  • Completely rewritten patch with correct implementation of transparency for electron window!
  • It actually running from compiled binaries! No need for electron dependency!
  • No conflicting with official release! You can have installed both!
  • Added support for official marketplace!
  • Added support for flags configuration file!
  • Added support for Wayland!
  • Unblocked proprietary features!
How to change window color?
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    //Black window color with 75% transparency (#RRGGBBAA)
    "window.background": "#000000BF"
},

..assuming you have a customized theme with all other transparent elements!

Building within clean chroot!

You can build package in completely clean environment without conflicting with any local dependencies (latest nodejs package etc..)!

Execute the following commands inside the package directory:

yes | sudo pacman -S devtools
extra-x86_64-build -c && rm *.log
mapfile -t _pkgs <<< "$(printf '%s\n' code-translucent-*.pkg.tar.zst | sort -Vr)"
sudo pacman -U "${_pkgs[0]}"

..or just run "build-with-chroot.sh" script!

Sorry guys and girls! Apparently some AUR helpers have problems with declaring global variables in functions. Fixed and added some new features! More in pinned post..

If I dont explicitly install request as a global module I get the following error: "Cannot find module 'request'"

Is it possible to add some explicit install request inside code-transparent? Then I dont have to bloat my global node modules
