When I am trying the command hyper --enable-transparent-visuals --disable-gpu to start hyper in Ubuntu 16.04, it is showing this output. Please help me.

  • Output
❯  hyper --enable-transparent-visuals --disable-gpu
The option "enable-transparent-visuals" is unknown. Here's a list of all available options:

Yeah, vibrancy is MacOS only, what you can do is start Hyper with --enable-transparent-visuals --disable-gpu and put rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8) in hyper.js under background-color.

If i remember, there was something about Electron dropping the transparent support on Linux, but don’t quote me on this one.

@telmen vibrancy only support macOS ref

Try another theme, like hyper-material-theme by @equinusocio, add the extra settings and enable vibrancy.
