I would WT semitransparent when unfocused, so I added to defaults this

"defaults":
{
   "unfocusedAppearance":
   {
    "opacity": 50
   },
...
}

Without the above option, when unfocused WT conserve all features of the current profile (color scheme, cursor shape etc.). With the above code, when unfocused WT is semitransparent but colorScheme etc are restored to default for each profile. This is a bit annoying because one should add for each profile something like:

...
"colorscheme": mycolors
...
// For each profile
"unfocusedAppearance":
   {
    "colorScheme": mycolors
   },

Why does WT not conserve those features when one uses the unfocusedAppearance option?
