+## About
+
+Electron has a built-in feature to add transparency effects to the window. However, this feature has some limitations:
+
+- The transparency effect is only applied to the window frame, not to the window content.
+- In order to apply the transparency effect to the whole window, `transparent` must be set to `true` in the `BrowserWindow` options. This creates a number of bugs which prevents the window from being resized or maximized. (see [this issue](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/28207))
+
+Electron Transparency aims to solve these issues by adding a native module which allows the transparency effect to be applied to the window content.
+
+## Usage
+
+See the example app [here](https://github.com/ItsPi3141/electron-transparency/tree/main/example)
+
+### Installation
+
+Install the module and electron-rebuild
+
+```bash
+npm install electron-transparency @electron/rebuild
+```
+
+Compile the native module
+
+```bash
+npx electron-rebuild
+```
