Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be very nice to have an option to automatically disable background trasparency (if enabled in the profile) when entering in a fullscreen terminal window (something like a "useAcrylicWithFullscreen" setting). That's because an user may want to completely isolate from other activities without the distraction of the wallpaper/other background content visible. Currently the only way to achieve this is to manually disable transparency with the CTRL+SHIFT+mouse wheel/trackpad scroll, or get rid of the transparency entirely profile-wise. An additional, separated option would be much more straightforward and useful.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
