Issue

Vibrancy or opacity not working on linux at all,

any suggestion?

[Rawnly]

Try another theme, like hyper-material-theme by @equinusocio, add the extra settings and enable vibrancy.

[telmen]

It's not working, I guess vibrancy not possible on linux :(

@telmen vibrancy only support macOS ref

[stefanivic]

Yeah, vibrancy is MacOS only, what you can do is start Hyper with --enable-transparent-visuals --disable-gpu and put rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8) in hyper.js under background-color.

[telmen]

Yeah, it gives transparency effect to hyper. Thanks. 👍

@stefanivic how to start hyper with keys --enable-transparent-visuals --disable-gpu?. Where I need to write this if I using Windows?

[equinusocio]

@Zx-EvM Just make a shortcut and edit the link by adding flags

@stefanivic @equinusocio thanks. It's doesn't work on Windows. Apparently hyper.is team did not implement support for opacity/transparent/vibrancy on Windows.

Or do you have it working?

[telmen]

Hm, electron doesn't provide windows and linux. For linux, its because gpu driver

Hi, i know the thread is closed, but i proved the flags in arch linux and nothing happens more that to get darker if i increase the transparency but full opacity.

[albinekb]

Then it's probably not supported in Arch linux 😢 @jcdino

[stefanivic]

If i remember, there was something about Electron dropping the transparent support on Linux, but don't quote me on this one.

as described https://github.com/vercel/hyper/issues/1625#issuecomment-285774582 its not a command.

you should put them in the target box of a shortcut. don't bother though! i tried that and didn't get any transparency effect :(
