  3. Backup recipes directory by changing its name to something else.

  5. This should create new directory called franz-transparent-recipes, rename it to recipes
  6. Start Franz
  7. If you can't see transparent apps, try View > ReloadService (Ctrl+R on Windows) or create issue here

Contributing

Theme name has to match Franz theme. At this moment available themes are:

Rules:

  1. theme name must match Franz theme name (see above)
  2. Css file must have theme- prefix and .css extension.
  3. If you use scss/less you have to compile css by yourself
  4. For transparent themes add html {background: none !important;} to top of theme file.

Example:

html {background: none !important;}
body.theme-pink header {background: pink;}
body.theme-pink header nav {color: white;}
body.theme-pink footer {background: deeppink;}

See existing themes for reference.

Troubleshooting

Cannot add services

First make sure you use my fork of Franz and both are up to date. Original Franz doesn't allow adding recipes if it detects '.git' folder in recipes directory. This folder keeps git stuff inside and in my fork is simply ignored. If you are sure this is not the case please create issue and post screenshots of Franz's developer console (View -> Toggle Dev Tools).
