About GlassCode (For Windows)
GlassCode
This plugin allows you to make your IDE to be fully transparent while keeping the code sharp and bright.
Introduction
Adjust the opacity level while keeping the text sharp and bright
Using GlassCode plugin with combination of LiveEdit (WebStorm IDE)
Using GlassCode in Java (IntelliJ IDE)
Using GlassCode with blur effect set to high
Getting started
• Download GlassCode plugin • Install it in your IDE • It is recommended to use the high contrast theme for the best result or at lest any dark theme. My suggestion is to enable the high contrast theme
How to use
Currently, the only way to use this plugin is to click on the GlassCode tab here:
After that, the following menu will open:
Click on the Enable checkbox to enable the effect.
In this menu, the following options available:
• Enable on startup - If this option is selected, the transparency effect will start on startup when you open project
• Use "High Contrast" theme - This option is highly recommended to get the best transparency quality.
If you don't enable this option, at least make sure you use a dark theme. The transparency is not working good
on non-dark themes!
• Opacity - This is the opacity of the background only. The image processing algorithm is smart to not apply the opacity to the texts or anything that is not background
• Amount of brightness behind the window - This will reduce or decrease the light that you can see behind the window. This effect give similar result like when the opacity is high value and the theme is dark.
In general it is suggested to set this filter to 70% and the opacity to 30%-60% (it depends on what you like)
• Type of blur behind the window - This effect have 3 options: None, Medium and High. When it set to None, there is no blur effect at all. For Medium and High it looks as following:
Medium blur:
High blur:
• Text extra brightness - This option controls the amount of brightness of your code
