Summary

When setting "transparency_alpha": 0 in komorebi.bar.json the komorebi bar turns black instead of transparent.

GPU :
AMD Radeon (TM) 780M Graphics
Driver version: 32.0.11020.16
Driver date: 14/06/2024
DirectX version: 12 (FL 12.1)

I saw this commit in troubleshooting.md for nvidia gpus, is there a workaround for AMD iGPUs ? https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/commit/2934d011fd8f2c6a108cd2303b8c0aa24d782daf

Hotkey Configuration

Not using whkdrc or komorebi.ahk

Output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\nicolas

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\nicolas

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

No ~/.config/whkdrc found; you may not be able to control komorebi with your keyboard

Can you see if these steps for Nvidia GPUs can also be replicated for your AMD GPU in the equivalent software / control panels?

Note to self - fix the formatting

I've checked and apparently AMD drivers don't feature any OpenGL GDI compatibility setting (I haven't found anything). I've tried reinstalling my iGPU drivers after a DDU clean uninstall but the issue is still present.
