Description of the new feature/enhancement

As Title states, the Transparency feature doesn't seem to work when choosing a custom background. Is this possible? 

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

 I honestly wish I could provide coding solution here, however my dev skills are weeeeeeeak.

Some other discussion in #11558, you may be interested in the backgroundImageOpacity setting, which controls the opacity of the background image. So if you want the Terminal to have a 50% transparent background image, you probably want to set the opacity to 0 and the backgroundImageOpacity to .5
