Invisable background dashboard

I use my TV (with Chromecast) to visualize my HA dashboards.
When choosing a dashboard background, it is possible to use an “invisible background” so that when displaying
From a dashboard with Google Cast, only the maps are projected. The Google Chromecast screensaver then becomes the background.

You could try the following, not sure if it works but seems like the most logical way. Use a theme in configuration.yaml. see: Home Assistant frontend - Home Assistant

Add the following:

primary-background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0)
app-header-background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0)

This doesn’t seem to work.

No transparent background possible.

With Notifications for Android TV / Fire TV
it works.

However, then I can only project 1 notification on my screen at a time. The Google screensaver continues to run.
I would like to be able to project multiple cards from a dashboard view. I use my LG TV (with Chromecast) and Google Cast (in HA)
