When I run the transparent.py example with 6.0 branch on windows11 24h2 python 3.13.3, window transparency still does not work.

What's more, here is a bug about debug=True in branch 6.0:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Xianfei\PycharmProjects\testpywebview\main.py", line 21, in <module>
    webview.start(debug=True)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\Xianfei\PycharmProjects\testpywebview\.venv\Lib\site-packages\webview\__init__.py", line 207, in start
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setLevel'

I checked now and transparency is working on my machine.

Does adding windll.user32.SetWindowLongW(self.Handle.ToInt32(), -20, windll.user32.GetWindowLongW(self.Handle.ToInt32(), -20) | 0x8000000) make a difference?

Logger fix is pushed now.
