Making background completely transplarent

[soumya92]

Can you provide a bit more detail on what you're trying and what the expected results are?

As far as I can tell, not setting a background (or setting a nil background) on a segment causes the bar's background to show through. And setting up transparency on i3bar itself is documented at https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_transparency.

isnt i3 bar and barista different things

[soumya92]

Yeah, but they work together to produce the output on screen.

The output of barista is i3bar-compatible json, which i3bar then parses and displays on the screen
