Macos – iTerm2 Transparent transparent background for inactive windows

itermiterm2macosterminal

The native MacOS Terminal has an ability to set transparency for both in-active and active panes. iTerm2 has the transparency for active backgrounds, for some reason, I can't find the inactive one or maybe there isn't any?. I am aware that, iTerm2 has the DIM inactive split panes but what I am looking for is transparency.

Help is appreciated.
