The issue

How do i change the settings so that the first foot terminal always opens transparent? Currently, it remains opaque when initially opened, only becoming transparent after moving it or opening a new terminal

I am also facing this issue, previously it was not present. Not sure if this is a Hyprland bug, or some config feature. Usually resizing the terminal makes it transparent again.

Sounds weird...
Maybe it's because the shell always sets the bg color and it isn't transparent?

I think it's more like a bug from somewhere, because occasionally it will become transparent the first time and mostly not

I can produce it if you want more information
