            },

Expected Behavior

A terminal looking something like this unfocused (this is the focused settings)

Actual Behavior

The background goes white instead of dark... the other bits seem to work though.

Doesn't "Tango Light" have a white background by default?

cdbcc17458/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsModel/defaults.json (L255-L258)

So this seems like it's working as expected. It's changing the scheme to tango light, including the background color

How embarrassing... yep.. should be tango dark..

Now, what I'd really like is for the background to go almost transparent when its not focused but try as I might with acrylicOpacity values, I can't seem to get the desktop to show through. Is that even possible? I tried values from 0 to 1 with no real change.

Thanks for pointing out the stuff up with the theme though.

Glad I could help!

Transparency already doesn't work on unfocused windows, so it didn't make sense to add that as a property in unfocusedAppearance. We're tracking adding support for that in #7158 though, so go give that a 👍 and subscribe if you're interested.
