Issue This is NOT an issue. I just haven't really found anywhere to propose feature requests.

A panel may be allowed to be transparent even when a maximized window is present. Why? Well, why not. I personally like to have a shine-through of my wallpaper. Being able to opt in to have this behaviour, would be nice!

Steps to reproduce ...

Expected behaviour ...

Other information ...

I wish you all a healthy and happy day. :)

Pending a response from @germanfr if you want to tweak the extension to behave as you wish https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1751104#p1751104

This is a commonly asked question, so I will refer you to the FAQ in the README: Is it possible to keep transparency always?

I also talk about issues and feature requests in the README: https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/extensions/view/42 or https://github.com/germanfr/cinnamon-transparent-panels#issues

But I don't have Cinnamon installed currently, so I won't be able to develop new features in the near future. Feel free to close this. Thanks!

I made a version that you can install by downloading the .zip and extracting it to ~/.local/share/cinnamon/extensions/ It's quick and dirty, but it works for me.
