v0.9.52 — 📡 the feed goes see-through again
📡 The feed goes see-through again
0.9.51 removed the layered-window alpha and took the feed strip's glass with it. The reason that wasn't obvious: the office window has always been an opaque window — only the chat head and the boot splash were created with per-pixel alpha — so the OS alpha was the only thing making feed mode see-through. Once it was gone, no CSS transparency could reach your desktop, and the strip became a solid grey panel sitting on the wallpaper.
The window is transparent now — window and webview both — and the page decides what shows through:
- Chat / ⛶ large:
bodykeeps its opaque background. Nothing changes. - 📡 Feed: a translucent canvas and the same 0.77 fade on the page's own ink. The old window alpha faded cards, avatars and text as much as the backdrop, and that ghosted-over-your-desktop look is the whole point of feed mode. Hover still takes it back to near-solid when you want to read it.
The layered-window trick from before 0.9.51 does not come back — this is the same look, reached the way the orb and the splash already do it.
