I fist time use Windows Terminal and want to configure it.

I use following config:

    }],

    // Add any keybinding overrides to this array.
    // To unbind a default keybinding, set the command to "unbound"
    "keybindings": []
}

So, I don't get any opacity effect in my Windows PowerShell 6 terminal.

I think that acrylicOpacity option should give some transparent to my terminal window, right?

How can I get it worked?
