Subject: [PATCH] improv: remove double coloring of `content_container` windows

This sets the main content and the header bar to transparent when `content_container` is true, so that things aren't colored twice and overlayed on top of each other.
This ensures that modifying color alpha behaves as expected, especially for frosted glass.
