Transparency
Answered
Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible to make the "Project" window 80-90% transparent.
I only could find some threads about transparency, and they all tell me to go under Settings | Appearance | Transparency but there is no Transparency option...

Ok, that is sad, but ok.
Thanks anyway, I'll keep checking those issues :)
Check out the plugin "GlassCode"

Gileli121: Looks promising. Too bad it doesn't work on macOS :(
…But the plugin proves that it's possible (now).
I wish Rider/intellij could use the translucency effect in macOS
there's this plugin in visual studio code that makes VScode window transparent..
and its not that great when you make it transparent.
kinda hard to see the text of the code and the editor.
unless you have a specific background color that won't compete for attention with your code color.
but that kinda defeats the purpose of transparent window.
the only pro that comes out from transparent window is that it will look good on video streaming.
