Summary

When transparency is set to true, the scrolling layout does not scroll. However, moving a window to another column works fine.

"transparency": true,
"transparency_alpha": 220,
  • Other layouts (Vertical, BSP, etc.) also work fine
  • Restarting komorebi/yasb or using the komorebi bar does not fix the issue

Good catch

I'm thinking about marking the transparency feature as EOL since it's more hassle than it's worth so it's unlikely I'll work on this

I suggest turning off transparency for anyone who actually has work to do on their computers
