Originally created by @TheBlueSky on GitHub (Jun 22, 2019).

Whatever value I set my terminal opacity to, it remains opaque.

On the other hand, I can set the opacity of the "normal" or the "bundled" Command Prompt and Powershell with no Windows issue.

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.175]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1715.0

CPU
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz

GPU
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 710
    Driver version: 25.21.14.2531
    Driver date: 09/04/2019
    DirectX version: 12 (FL 11.0)
    Physical location: PCI bus 5, device 0, function 0

Steps to reproduce

  • Launch Windows Terminal on my machine :)
  • Go to Settings; Ctrl+,
  • Set acrylicOpacity to a value that is less than 1; e.g., 0.75 or 0.5

Expected behaviour

The window becomes semi-transparent.

Actual behaviour

The window is still opaque.
