[enhancement] Window transparency
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Not sure this is supported by the underlying engine, but being able to change the transparency of the window (0-100). The Windows terminal has similar functionality:
Oddly I only ever see this function with CMD interfaces (as above). Not that it doesn't look cool, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen people actually use window transparency with a text editor. As such, I'd recommend making this a low priority enhancement.
Agreed that it isn't common, but I can see it working very well with the always-on top option, and perhaps, customizable opacity through shortkeys. Having said that, it's merely a wishful cosmetic suggestion, certainly should be low on Mike's efforts.
Looking forward to an option to support the developer; this may be a niche app but a great one at it!
Hmm I thought I could it in WPF but it seems like the scintilla control is fucking it up.
Scintilla is the control that displays the big text control and (because there is no native WPF control) it lives inside a windows forms host control which doesn't play nicely with global transparency.
I don't think I can do anything about that - will close the issue :(
