Setting LiquidCanvas background to transparent.

[niraj-khatiwada]

Hi, thanks for the great package. I'm having fun experimenting these liquid glass demos on my Electron app.
I just have one quick question which I can't seem to figure out. Is there a way to set the background color to transparent or any other color for canvas. Right now it has this persistent black color which makes these rounded layout have a patch of black background at corners. Thanks for the awesome library.

Thanks for the issue! There's definitely a way to render canvas contents with transparent pixels and electron can overlay that on top of your desktop contents, but I assume what you want to do is you want the glass to distort your desktop, which is not possible sadly. The browser cannot arbitrarily sample the pixels of other windows or the desktop (unless you're using a screen recording API, which is a different topic and it would make it possible, but I wouldn't recommend it).

Understood! Btw I just wanted the background color aspect of the canvas, I wasn't even thinking about the distortion using electron app as an overlay (tbh that just sounds way cooler if it was possible). What I wanted was, my electron app is completely transparent and i want to make sure the sidebar would just be a blurred view above the transparent window which right now is being blocked by the black color of canvas.

That is definitely possible with a correctly configured pipeline, just need to enable alpha blending. If you want to contribute, this might be a very good first issue. :)
