Steps to reproduce

  1. Set "opacity": 0, "useAcrylic": true. This will set the acrylic effect as expected.
  2. Set "backgroundImage": "desktopWallpaper".
  3. Restart Terminal.
  4. See how the acrylic effekt has now disappeard.

Plaing around with backgroundImageOpacity doesn't achieve the same acrylic effect.

Expected Behavior

useAcrylic should also apply the effect on the configured backgroundImage.

Actual Behavior

The acrylic effect dissapears as if opacticy was set to 0 without any acrylic effect.
