[Bug]

[NJMRgit]

Step 1. Pre-report Checklist

• I checked if there is already an open issue that described my problem.
• I checked if there is already an open issue at Millennium that describes my problem.
• I ticked the checkboxes without reading them.
• I checked the Update tab to see if there was an update.

Step 2. Theme configuration

Standard config. Only setting changed is enabling the mica effect
Not using the mica effect plugin because it was not necessary + it's incompatible with linux

Using KDE on CachyOS

Step 3. Describe the issue

Transparency no longer works

Step 4. How to reproduce

1. install theme
2. enable mica
3. dissapointment

Anything else?

(second image was a completely new install done in an effort to troubleshoot)

The first image isn't right either. This may sound stupid, but: are you using Windows? Do you have the Mica plugin? Does the plugin have any errors in the logs tab of Millennium? Do you have the theme option enabled?

[NJMRgit]

like I said in the post ">Not using the mica effect plugin because it was not necessary + it's incompatible with linux" so no I'm not on windows, and the mica plugin never worked since there's not mica implementation on linux for it to work with

The mica toggle in the theme settings in enabled in both screenshots - transparency on linux may have been an unintended "feature" but it was better than no transparency lol

this is what I can find in the logs:

[SpaceEnergy]

oh my bad, then it's a KDE thing and not a SpaceTheme thing, bcs the theme has no "transparent" mode only the mode with the plugin and this works only on windows

[SpaceEnergy]

idk how to use KDE, you may ask Ai or read docs for transparent windows

[NJMRgit]

I don't think it's a KDE thing. Does turning on the toggle in theme settings change any values in the .css?

[SpaceEnergy]

yes, when the setting is on then millennium imports steam/steamui/skins/Steam/src/css/plugins/dwmx.css

[NJMRgit]

I'm just guessing but It seems the main.py script looks for win32process and doesn't find it and I assume does not apply the changes to the css? If that is the case would it be possible to implement another linux specific toggle that just alters the .css?

please be patiant until shadow releases an update for the plugin, it just needs to be released

Unless they plan to re-implement mica on linux I doubt that.. I just need transparency. I can handle blur myself

the mica plugin is a windows 11 only plugin it does not work on linux
