Need Help with Godot App: Transparent Background Causes Flashing and Browser Bug

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a note-taking app in Godot, and I’m trying to get it to run on top of other windows with a transparent background. However, I’m running into a weird issue where the app keeps flashing, and it’s causing all my open webpages to bug out. I’ve been searching everywhere for a solution but haven’t found anything helpful yet.

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

  • My Godot node tree
  • The code I’m using
  • A video showing the flashing and browser bugs

If anyone has experience with Godot, transparent backgrounds, or Windows rendering issues, I’d really appreciate your help! I’m stuck and not sure where to go from here.

Thanks in advance!
