Allow transparent browser for windowed mode. #2315

Open magreenblatt opened 6 years ago

Original report by santosh mahto (Bitbucket: Santosh_Collabora).

As of now windowed mode browser background is set to opaque(WHITE) but windowless browser background is set to transparent by default.

There are many valid use case for embedder to allow windowed mode browser also to be transparent when browser is layered on top of some existing UI, and that UI should be visible though browser.

Original comment by Mitchell Charity (Bitbucket: mncharity, GitHub: mncharity).

Fyi, the PR from 2017-12 has a title with an incorrect issue number.

The misidentified issue is closed, which perhaps contributed to the lack of follow-up on this one?

Please see comments on the PR.

Marking as WontFix due to lack of reporter response.
