Closing as out of scope as we don't plan to address this in the near future. You can see where transparent windows in VS Code was similarly closed here microsoft/vscode#32257 |

Currently(vscode v1.85.0), the floating window feature allows the chat view to float on top of other windows. This is useful for users with dual monitors, as it allows the chat view to act as another window.
However, I believe the floating feature can be further enhanced to provide more flexibility, even for users with a single computer screen. Similar to the UI in the chatting app ICQ, if the chat view is placed near the edge of the window (e.g., the top edge), it should automatically dock/hide to the edge of the window when it is not activated(it is like the behavior of quick chat UI, but more flexible).
In addition, for the proposed floating chat UI (not only for the quick chat UI), I suggest making it slightly translucent when it is floating on top of the main VSCode window. This way, users can input while still being able to see the content from the main VSCode window behind the chat UI.
