background mode does not work with polybar pseudo transparency #13

As the name implies, the pseudo transparency stuff stay still and does not change with background mode. It works with root mode, btw.

Thanks for reporting, Background mode is spawning a window with a background typehint that is not fully supported by all window managers. Not sure if I can change that behavior, what window manager/desktop were you running polybar on?

I simply use bspwm. I guess this might be something we need to work with polybar code, for I guess polybar might use the root window to feed its pseudo-transparency(I am not sure for I haven't looked through the code of polybar......).
