Hi folks, when I try to focus on one window from a specific application (with transparent background) with zoom-fullscreen, is it possible to auto hide all the other windows, and restore them back when I toggle zoom-fullscreent for this specific application?

Did you find a solution?

I believe you can make of use of jankyborder in such case.
It can render a colored backdrop for a window, so you can script a fullscreen toggle for that.

I used a simple workaround. If I'm focusing on transparent app I make all other apps fully transparent. That simple trick works fine.

# Get focused window app name
focused_app=$(yabai -m query --windows --window | jq -r '.app')

# Check if app is in transparent list
if echo "$focused_app" | grep -qE "$transparent_apps"; then
  # Transparent app focused
  yabai -m config active_window_opacity "$opacity_value"
  yabai -m config normal_window_opacity 0.00001
else
  # Non-transparent app focused
  yabai -m config active_window_opacity 1.0
  yabai -m config normal_window_opacity 1.0
