What does this PR do?

Set system theme background to transparent (RGBA with alpha=0) to allow terminal transparency settings (e.g., Ghostty background-opacity) to show through. Dialog panels and UI elements remain opaque with terminal-derived colors for readability.

Fixes#4027

The issue being open for so long and the fix being so simple makes me think I'm not aware of some other issue this may cause 🤔. I've checked #4369 but it's not an issue on my PR (see screenshots below)

How did you verify your code works?

$ bun run dev

Set system theme background to transparent (RGBA with alpha=0) to allow terminal transparency settings (e.g., Ghostty background-opacity) to show through. Dialog panels and UI elements remain opaque with terminal-derived colors for readability.
Changes:
- Main background now fully transparent instead of using terminal background color
- Dialog panels, elements, and menus keep opaque backgrounds for clarity

Ghostty - OpenCode - 2026-02-02 at 15 00 16@2x Not sure if this behavior is intended, but I'm noticing the background doesn't stay transparent when opening dialog windows.

I'd say it is intended since the popup is creating an "overlay". I didn't tackle that scenario cause it was gonna be a bit more complex and users don't spend much time on popups.

Got it, thanks for confirming. Yeah overall not a big deal, just wanted to mention 🙂 thanks for getting this fixed!
