Ask your question!

Is there a way to change the opacity of ONLY the background image?
I have the below in my config but the opacity flag/option is changing the opacity of the entire window and not just the image:

	{
		source = {
			File = "/Users/taylorjones/powder.jpg",
		},
		opacity = 0.9,
	},
}

If what you're looking for is simply making the background less bright, you can use the hsb option in the layer definition, e.g.:

config.background = {
	{
		source = {
			File = wezterm.home_dir .. "/Pictures/Wallpapers/mountainlion.jpg",
		},
		hsb = { brightness = 0.05 },
	},
}

Which will reduce the brightness of the picture by 95%.

This sort of works but I'm more looking for a way to blend the image into the current color schemes background color.

Maybe

c.background = {
	{
		source = {
			File = wezterm.home_dir .. "/Pictures/Wallpapers/mountainlion.jpg",
		},
	},
	{
		source = {
			Color = "rgba(28, 33, 39, 0.95)",
		},
		height = "100%",
		width = "100%",
	},
}

	},
}

This worked perfectly!!

Color = "rgba(28, 33, 39, 0.95)",

Oh ! Wow, took me an hour to get here, how did you guys figure this out I cannot find this anywhere in the docs, even now I'm looking I'm still not finding it...

I am also curious did I misread something on why I would need to set a width and height on my color in order for it to take effect?
