After years of using just the transparency setting found in Options, I have recently discovered the command line option to set a background image. Of particular interest is the mode where it grabs the desktop background to make it look like the window is hardly there at all, like this:
echo -ne '\e]11;=,99\a'
However, I have found that with my multi monitor setup, unless that "primary monitor" is the left most monitor (which it's not since I want the center monitor to be "primary"), and if there is a separate image on each monitor, the image shown on the background is from the mintty window, but from the monitor one position to the left.
Like so:
I suspect this is because the left monitor would have a negative location relative to the primary monitor.
I tried setting the left most monitor as "primary", and then it works properly, but then new windows and notifications don't pop up front and center which interferes with my workflow.
