# How to remove the Transparency window effect on Deepin OS 20.7?

---

## Introduction

Deepin OS uses its own desktop environment called DDE, which is designed to be visually appealing, smooth, and intuitive. It offers a macOS-like experience with a dock, launcher, and a system tray.

## Solution

Let's go over the solution.

---

## Check your OS

You can try one of the following approaches.

---

### **lsb\_release**

The command "lsb\_release -a" is used to display information about the Linux Standard Base (LSB) and distribution-specific information of your Linux system.

The "lsb\_release" command is useful for identifying the distribution and its version in a standardized manner, particularly if you are writing scripts or need to retrieve distribution information programmatically.

```apache
lsb_release -a
```

The output should be something like this

```apache
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Deepin
Description:    Deepin 20.7.1
Release:        20.7.1
Codename:       apricot
```

### **os-release**

The command `cat /etc/os-release` is used to display the contents of the "/etc/os-release" file, which contains information about the operating system distribution.

The "/etc/os-release" file is commonly used by various system utilities and scripts to determine the distribution and retrieve specific information about the operating system.

In the terminal

```apache
cat /etc/os-release
```

Your output should be something like the following:

```apache
PRETTY_NAME="Deepin 20.7.1"
NAME="Deepin"
VERSION_ID="20.7.1"
VERSION="20.7.1"
VERSION_CODENAME="apricot"
ID=Deepin
HOME_URL="https://www.deepin.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bbs.deepin.org/"
```
