Research direction

Start at the Donut toolbar window and its appearance settings in the Avalonia desktop app; the issue does not name a file or test. Reproduce on Windows 11 with Filee 1.12.0, then trace how the toolbar window draws its background and applies opacity. Done when the area outside the donut is transparent and the window behind it remains visible.

Description

bug

Hi!

I'm using Filee 1.12.0 on Windows 11, and I've noticed
a visual issue with the donut toolbar.

When I open the donut toolbar, a dark rectangular
background appears behind it. The window behind the
toolbar is completely hidden by this rectangle.

I tried changing the Opacity setting in the Donut
toolbar appearance settings, but it didn't fix the issue.

Is this a known issue? Is there a way to make the
area outside the donut transparent?

Filee version: 1.12.0
OS: Windows 11
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU

I've attached a screenshot showing the problem.

Thanks!
