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 …
