Doesnt work for spotify #9

This works for every other window except spotify

Does Spotify client has transparent background? AFAIK, Spotify is built with Electron, which doesn't support transparent window background by default.

A possible workaround is setting window opacity using KWin features. (i.e. 'Configure Special Application Settings" in window context menu). For example, I set the opacity of Visual Studio Code (also built with Electron) to 95%, and enabled blur through this script. It looks somewhat transparent, while contents are still readable.
