Current Behavior

Expected Behavior

For it to actually work! It did not even prompt me to install the extension in notifications, I keep reloading and enabling and it does not work.

Steps To Reproduce

On Windows 11, install VSCodium with Scoop then install Vibrancy Continued.

Environment

- OS: Windows 11
- VSCode: VSCodium 1.91.1.24193 installed through Scoop
- Extension: no other extensions
- Theme: Dark+/Tokyo

Anything else?

Thanks for your beautiful work!

I'll have to check why you didn't receive a first-time use notification, but regarding the issue, I can see that your window controls in the top right are differently colored which means that Vibrancy is applied. It's likely that you have transparency effects disabled globally via the "Transparency effects" Windows setting or some power-saving mode. Also, if you've changed the Vibrancy transparency type to an incompatible one, that could also cause this.

Thank you for the reply! I did not change any settings, everything is default, but since you mentioned, I also tried these two:

I enabled global transparency effects but nothing changed unfortunately.

I do not like Windows transparency effects for all windows btw, I want transparency for VSCodium only!

And I'm on high performance:

I wish you added the possibility to reinstall or uninstall Vibrancy through command pallet because not matter how many times I try to uninstall and reinstall the extension from the marketplace, I do not get the install vibrancy notification!

The VSCode window in your screenshot looks different, and I think it already has a transparency effect, what is your Vibrancy opacity set to?

Unfortunately, the setting you're using is a system-wide on/off switch, and Electron respects it. Perhaps you can find some third-party tool that can achieve what you're looking for.

You can, the actions are called "Enable Vibrancy", "Reload Vibrancy" and "Disable Vibrancy"

ohhhh there was no number assigned to it by default, I enabled it and it seems to be working now!
I also enabled Tokyo theme and look at it now!

It's amazing thanks so much!
I should also note that I can resize and move my VSCodium, but I can't maximize or snap which imo is fine :D

Glad to hear! I'll look into the opacity issue as well, it's unusual that the default wasn't applied.
