I tried editing config.json and adding

		"transparent-player": {
			"enabled": true
		},

without success. Xubuntu 25.04

To clarify, the reason behind it is that there isn't just one option for every OS, but e.g. MacOS has completely different options to enable Acrylic and I don't have a Mac or Linux device to test this on.

Hello! I'm trying to understand but cannot find any solution. I'm on Arch Hyprland and would like to turn on this translucent plugin, but it is not showing in the list and also writing that code is not useful! How would i do it? Thanks for any help!!

@C0LD-96 the plugin only supports Windows atm

There is an open PR that adds macos/linux support
