There could be a toggle, in case it breaks anything.

This would also help with zellij. There I encounter also random backgrounds, that are not transparent, even though they have the same color.

Might be good to not just define the background color (or a single color) but a list of colors.

Similar to what kitty does with transparent_background_colors

This, I think, could be a nice solution for cases @dj95 mentions.
