This is my fork of Franz 5. Created mainly to add dark theme and later transparent and background image.
Transparent theme instructions
Transparent theme works best with transparent services (apps). I added transparent themes for only those apps I use. At the moment: Slack, Gmail, Messenger, Slack, Telegram, GoogleCalendar. If you wish some other you can create issue with a request.
To use transparent services it's best to clone whole repository to franz directory. Detailed instruction here
This repository is only for Franz 5 and later, previous versions are no longer maintained.
