Does transparency only work when compiled?

Trying to do a virtual pet and I'm seeing that running the compiled demo works fine, but when running from the IDE the window background is black. Any solutions or workarounds?

Thankyou for the quick response! I'm still struggling to get it to work :/ I've tried disabling those graphics settings in windows. I've also tried compiling the demo yyz and that doesn't work but your precompiled demo does work. I've tried VM and YYC with the same results. I've even tried restarting my PC after changing that setting and nothing. I'm using the latest GM beta

Hard to tell, does it work if you run a YYC build in GM LTS, for example?

Just tested it, and on LTS it works both in VM and YYC for me. LTS is honestly fine for my project, but I do generally prefer to use BETA, will keep an eye out for if you are able to find a fix sometime. As always your extensions are awesome, thanks man!

Oh, I generally don’t recommend using beta for projects - it might not even be this issue, it breaks extensions and functions often. Stable version should be fine.
