[Question] Mica/transparencies support linux #2

Open LovecraftianGodsKiller opened 1 year ago

LovecraftianGodsKiller commented 1 year ago

I use Linux, never heard about Mica and saw that it is something for windows. Can I just install the configuration and just go on or will I will need to disable it?

Mica is Microsoft's transparent material for interfaces. And to use it in programs that don't use it themselves, we use some tricks.

But that's not what you are interested in if you use Linux. What you should know is that this theme is prepared to use the system transparencies if you want to. Whatever they are. For example in KDE, unless you activate Blur in KDE these transparencies will be perfectly transparent, looking ugly in my opinion. So if you use KDE I recommend activating the blur and if necessary install "Kwin script > force blur".

I also have this theme installed in Manjaro with KDE 5.27 and with Force Blur (although the latter I do not know if it is essential, but as I already had it, it stayed on).

With other desktop environments is not tested, but should work. And if it doesn't. It could be that you have to configure something in the desktop environment to activate the transparencies in some way.

@LovecraftianGodsKiller Did you get it the way you wanted it?

Haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

117 broke transparencies in linux (tabbar border is not transparent). Fix WIP

Hi guys, Just tested on KDE/Debian 12 and the transparency doesn't seem to work (Firefox-esr 115.6.0). I use the KWin script force blur v6 btw.
