  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version

  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app:

Issue

I am unable to get transparency working on Hyper 1.31 on Windows 10. I have tried a few plugins, none of which worked, and changing my backgroundColor to backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.5)'. Is there anything else that I can try? My hyper.js is currently back to default config.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the transparency problem on Windows 10 with Hyper 1.3.1 using the default hyper.js configuration, then inspect how the rgba backgroundColor setting is handled. Done means transparency works reliably on Windows 10 without requiring an unspecified plugin or extra configuration.
