Implement window.transparent configuration option for Windows

[shalithasuranga]

Currently, the window.transparent config prop is only implemented in GNU/Linux and macOS as follows:

• GNU/Linux: Window transparency is set in the webview.h file and the webview transparency is set in the same file.
• macOS: Window transparency is set in the macwindow.mm file and the webview transparency is set in the webview.h file

Similarly, we need to implement this conditional transparency feature in Windows too.

Hi @shalithasuranga ,
I want to work on this issue. Could you please provide more details about the problem? Additionally, I am a Linux user; am I able to contribute to the resolution of this issue?

[shalithasuranga]

Hi @officeneerajsaini, thanks so much for your interest. Please check the updated issue description. This issue requires writing some Windows-specific code, so it needs to be compiled on Windows. Maybe you can use a Windows VM on Linux?

So, do we fix this issue now, or wait for the GSoC proposal? I found just one problem in this GSoC-related repository; are there any more things we need to look into

[shalithasuranga]

@officeneerajsaini This task is not a GSoC 2024 task, so contributors can work on this issue and send pull requests -- you also can send a pull request for this one even before sending a proposal (We've mentioned about this on Discrod).

Note: Btw, this issue requires some experience in Neutralinojs internals, so if you are getting started with the codebase, you can find other issue that has the gsoc label on it in other repos as well.

Very well then, I am so excited to work on this issue. I have some experience in open source; just a few days ago, I merged my pull request on Node.js documentation issues. For this contribution, I need your help to resolve this issue. Could you please explain the details of this issue?

Great @officeneerajsaini, I recently updated this issue's description with the goal of this task. We basically need to implement the missing Window/webview transparency feature for the Windows platform. It's already done for other two platforms. Please let me know if you have questions regarding task details 🎉 Thanks

Hi @shalithasuranga
I'd be also working on this issue, I'd like to contribute in GSoC as well but I think understanding the codebase first will be better and solving this issue would be a great opportunity to start!
Thanks

Hi @officeneerajsaini ,
do you still planing to work on that issue?
Seems like it can't be done for gsoc.
What is the current state of this Issue?

I'm curious to see how the issue develops.
Thanks

[officeneerajsaini]

is this issue still open ?

[bxsti-dev]

@officeneerajsaini yes but it can be closed. The feature was added in a Pullrequest already.
