I've actually solved this issue by putting app.disableHardwareAcceleration();
just above the app.ready()
code in the index.js file.
@tankerkiller125 Hi! I've read this discussion and tried to implement this fix (it should be already on the development branch).
I switched last week from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 18.06 as my daily driver. I'm on Linux too now and had this issue, I applied a fix for transparency by delaying the creation of the BrowserWindow which works fine on Ubuntu 18.04.
What distro are you on?
Elementary OS (based on Ubuntu 16.04) I actually relized the white went away without this but it it still wasn't transparent and instead was solid black.
@tankerkiller125 can you share your experience with us on Linux? What are you intending to do with the project? :)
@ItsWendell Right now I'm just experimenting with it, but in the future, I could see this project being something that I can actually use on a day to day basis.
Ubuntu 18.04, app.disableHardwareAcceleration();
works, the delay not
But that only seems to work for the assistant window while it is not yet loaded
For some reason locally here for me I don't have any problems at all since upgrading, @cromefire what are you using exactly?
uname: Linux tpu 4.15.0-38-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 10 10:59:38 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
NVIDIA proprietary driver v390.77
on GTX 960
Also the response window now also works with that change
Just tested on Fedora 29 (Gnome) and MacOS Sierra (10.12.6) both work fine, also updated some packages and electron to 4.0.3, let me know how this works now!
It's still not working without disabling the acceleration, for me it seems to be a problem with the proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers for Linux that might be the issue, so it should simply disable hw accel on linux, there's nothing demanding in this app which needs hw accel
Apparently, there is a known issue with hardware accelerated Chrome (Electron) where transparency shows up as white. Apparently, there is a fix as noted in electron/electron#2170
