Description of the new feature/enhancement

As far as I can see, there is no option to make the cursor see through, like in Mintty, for example. There is the "emptyBox" cursor shape, but that one feels very unfamiliar when editing text.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Either allow rgba (like in css) in "cursorColor" or add a "cursorOpacity" option.
