Here's my thought on 馃挱 Background Image | Wallpaper 路 Issue #3059 路 helix-editor/helix


How to make helix themes transparent. You can make any built-in theme transparent in helix with one line, a few extras and you can make all the pop ups, help menus and status line trransparant as well.


mkdir -p ~/.config/helix/themes
hx

:o ~/.config/helix/themes/dracula_transparant.toml


# ~/.config/helix/themes/dracula_transparant.toml
inherits = "dracula"
"ui.background" = { fg = "foreground" }
"ui.menu" = { fg = "white" }
"ui.popup" = { fg = "white" }
"ui.window" = { fg = "white" }
"ui.help" = { fg = "light-gray" }

"ui.statusline" = { fg = "gray" }
"ui.statusline.inactive" = { fg = "black" }

:config-edit


# ~/.config/helix/config.toml
theme="dracula_transparant"
