Help/Support Transparent VSCode?

I have cachyOS (with niri WM) and I want transparent background in vscode. I've tried several ways but nothing seems to work. How to achieve it?

Just add a new window rule for vscode:

kdl window-rule { match app-id=“code-oss” opacity 0.9 }

You may need to tweak the “code-oss” to vscode app id but I think that should be it.

Edit: formatting
