Transparent background

Hi all,
I’m trying to “abuse” MagicMirror as an OSD for a video player.
For that, I want to have VLC play the video, and MagicMirror just lay on top of it.
Sadly, setting electronOptions.transparent to true and electronOptions.backgroundColor to “#0000” or “#00000000” doesn’t have the desired effect.
I’m on a RPi 3 and so far have just tested on an X with xsetroot -solid red instead of going full video player.
What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
count

@berlincount oh, I’ve tested both master and develop branches, and any non-opaque backgroundColor gives bad redraws on clocks etc - but no transparent background …
