feature: is there any way to support transparent background?

[ZovutVanya]

Did you check the docs?

• I have read all the drop.nvim docs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

So I have drop activate on the Snacks dashboard when I enter neovim. It adds a black window with a border

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if we could make it transparent and disable the border for this particular window

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can disable the borders altogether, but I like them in other contexts

Thanks, though it seems to solve only border, right? It is still not transparent. Anyway, great work!

How to +1 on a PR?

It is transparent for me... (it respects the transparency options on the rose pine theme setup function).

or

require("tokyonight").setup({
  transparent = true,
  styles = {
    sidebars = "transparent",
    floats = "transparent",
  },
})

Hmmm, strange, it seems to not work with the Catppuccin colorscheme then. Or I do something wrong...

{
    "catppuccin/nvim",
    lazy = false,
    name = "catppuccin",
    priority = 1000,
    opts = {
      flavour = "mocha",
      transparent_background = true,
      float = {
        transparent = true, -- enable transparent floating windows
      },
    },
  }

Actually, it doesn't work with tokyonight as well. I am on Mac and the terminal is Ghostty, maybe the problem is somewhere there?

I have updated the plugin to assign a highlight group with a forced transparent background to the overlaying window. can you try updating to the latest version of my pull req?

Config example that points at the pull req:

return {
  'hendrikpetertje/drop.nvim',
  branch = 'fix-border',
  -- enabled = false,
  opts = {
    theme = "auto",
    screensaver = false,                -- 1000 * 60 * 5, -- show after 5 minutes. Set to false, to disable
    filetypes = { 'snacks_dashboard' }, -- will enable/disable automatically for the following filetypes
    themes = {
      { theme = "new_year",        from = { month = 12, day = 29 }, to = { month = 1, day = 1 } },
      { theme = "valentines_day",  month = 2,                       day = 14 },
      { theme = "st_patricks_day", month = 3,                       day = 17 },
      { theme = "easter",          holiday = "easter" },
      { theme = "xmas",            from = { month = 12, day = 1 },  to = { month = 12, day = 25 } },
      { theme = "leaves",          from = { month = 9, day = 22 },  to = { month = 10, day = 22 } },
      { theme = "snow",            from = { month = 10, day = 23 }, to = { month = 3, day = 19 } },
      { theme = "spring",          from = { month = 3, day = 20 },  to = { month = 6, day = 20 } },
      { theme = "summer",          from = { month = 6, day = 21 },  to = { month = 9, day = 21 } },
    },
  }
}

@HendrikPetertje, I updated, but the background is still black. I also tried to find the element that does that, but no luck so far :(
What is your setup by the way, OS, terminal, etc.?

[HendrikPetertje]

Omarchy, Kitty, tmux and then kvinna nightly from last week on top.

Same with the work MacBook. Kitty -> tmux -> nvim
