Expected Behavior

Window should be transparent

Actual Behavior

Open a window with transparency enabled and delete the dom, the window will be white instead of transparent.
Also seems like settings the backgroundColor property has no longer an effect. I always see a white window

const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron')
const path = require("path");

function createWindow () {
	const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
		transparent: true,
		frame: false,
	})

	mainWindow.loadURL('https://example.com')
	mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()
}

app.whenReady().then(createWindow)
