[BUG]: Transparency only applies to the active window
First of all, let me tell you how much I was happy to discover this amazing extension, the only one that can really make Gnome look elegant, modern, beautiful. And what can I say about the wonderful feature of auto-theme ? Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of this, neuromorph !
To make it perfect (at least in my case), there are a few bugs/inconsistencies/evolutions I would like to mention. Here is the firt one.
Describe the bug I have enabled tranqsparency for GTK windows. But then, the effect only applies to the active window (the one which has the focus on). As soon as it loses the focus, the effect disappears
To Reproduce Enable effect for GTK4/GTK3 window, with alpha set to a value between 0 and 1. Select a GTK window. When it has the focus, transparency effect is "visible". As soon as it loses the focus, transparency effect is off.
Relevant Specs:
- Open Bar version: 43
- Gnome version: 48
- OS/Distribution: Arch
- Other installed extensions if interference is expected [Optional]: the extensions I have enabled that are related to visual effects are : burn my windows / Dash2dock animated / Rounded Window Corners Reborn I have tried to disable them all, but the issue remains.
Thanks in advance !

You are very welcome :) and thanks much for your kind words, it means a lot!

This is true and is by design like that. The transparency rendering puts a bit of a load on the system resources and this approach minimizes it (esp. for older systems). I don't recall now but this was also how window transparency is handled in some OS/Distro. Having said that, I can maybe add an option for focused vs all windows. I will let you know when I get a chance to work on that.
Thank you for your feedback. Maybe an option to select between : All windows / Active window / Inactive window(s) depending on the technical possibilities ?
Anyway, thanks again for your great work !
