mainStage is not transparent

JabRef version

5.13 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

No response

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I think there is a problem with main stage transparency, causing white, non-transparent background to be visible under popups and the main window, see screenshot:

I don't find myself competent enough to solve the problem, but my investigation has led to a potential conclusion that setting

mainStage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);

in openWindow() in JabRefGUI.java could help. Could someone please check it a build a Linux binary for me to test it?

This is how your theme now looks on mac

I tried your stage style transparent, but this just removes the window decorated style:
e.g.

Normal style

Thank you for the attempt and time spent on this problem. Seems like it's a Linux-related issue on my side. Will investigate further.

I'll solved the problem. compton (xorg compositor was not running), hence there was no transparency. It works fine now.
