Translucent Sidebar

Lets the page show through the sidebar when it floats over it, with the sidebar hidden, instead of the theme color covering it.

Why use it

The floating sidebar covers part of the page with a solid color. With this it lets the page show through, which looks lighter and keeps context.

• Handy if you use the hidden, floating sidebar and like a glassy look.
• Skip it if you find text hard to read over busy pages.

Turn it on

Open Dia → Settings → Patches and switch on Translucent Sidebar. Or run:

diatweaks enable translucentSidebar

FAQ

Can I change the material?

Yes. Turn on Window Material and pick one there. With Window material off, it uses the same material as the window's background.
