Feature Request: Add Optional Translucent / Acrylic / Mica Window Support
Hi!
I’d love for XMCL to support an optional translucent UI mode, where the window (or specific panels) can use the system’s built-in blur/transparency effects.
What I’m requesting
-
Add support for system-level translucent materials, such as:
- Windows 11: Acrylic or Mica
- macOS: Vibrancy
-
Make this optional, so users can toggle translucency on/off in settings or config.
-
Ideally allow:
- Full-window translucency (seeing the wallpaper/apps behind XMCL)
- Or applying the effect only to certain UI areas (e.g., sidebar, top bar)
Why
I prefer a clean, modern UI style where apps blend into the desktop, and Electron has recently added proper support for these effects. Having this as a toggle would let people who don’t want translucency keep the default solid theme.
Thanks!
