Problem Description
The Mica backgroundMaterial effect does not appear below the WebContents.
Proposed Solution
The backgroundMaterial option should behave the same as when setting the vibrancy option.
macOS: vibrancy: 'medium-light' |
Windows: backgroundMaterial: 'acrylic' |
Windows: backgroundMaterial: 'acrylic' + transparent: true |
|---|---|---|
When vibrancy is set, the WebContents is transparent by default. The same should apply to backgroundMaterial. Setting transparent: true doesn't seem to be a valid workaround, but ideally should still work.
The code below needs to be updated:
electron/shell/browser/api/electron_api_browser_window.cc
Lines 58 to 64 in 9ffffdb
Alternatives Considered
None.
