- Research direction
- The issue requests a transparent background theme option. Investigate existing terminal transparency protocols (e.g., kitty, iTerm2) and how Zellij currently handles colors in its configuration (likely in src/theme.rs or similar). Look for any prior PRs or discussions about transparency (none linked). The main challenge is integrating with the terminal's compositing; consider using the 'background opacity' supported in some terminals. Check if there is a design discussion in the comments for guidance.
