Fixed with Big Sur! Yay!

UPDATE: Fixed and now works with Big Sur! Thank you for the quick response! Yes, I'm back to loving this app.

I loved this app. Having the moon on my desktop was wonderful. Sadly, with Big Sur the background is no longer transparent but a white box. I don't have a plain white background on my desktop, so the app is now unusable. I don't have much hope it will be updated.

Developer Response ,

You can start loving this app again. A fix is available.

Thanks for your nice words. Enjoy the app.
Please consider updating your app rating after installing the fix.

Beautiful addition to my day

Love the implementation. Here's a feature suggestion. Would love to have the option for the dark portion of the moon to be transparent (as it appears in the sky) rather than black. Not sure how hard that would be to implement at the edges of the shadow, but would look amazing on Apple's "Solar Gradients" Dynamic Desktop (and others I'm sure).
