my kitty.conf is nothing special but i did take advantage of the dynamic opacity setting. the kitty config is probably the most straight forward and well thought-out config i've ever used.

Nice! Yeah, I have mapped keybindings for each 10% opacity increment + some for fine grained control of +/- 5%

map kitty_mod+alt+o>1 set_background_opacity 0.1
map kitty_mod+alt+o>2 set_background_opacity 0.2
map kitty_mod+alt+o>3 set_background_opacity 0.3
map kitty_mod+alt+o>4 set_background_opacity 0.4
map kitty_mod+alt+o>5 set_background_opacity 0.5
map kitty_mod+alt+o>6 set_background_opacity 0.6
map kitty_mod+alt+o>7 set_background_opacity 0.7
map kitty_mod+alt+o>8 set_background_opacity 0.8
map kitty_mod+alt+o>9 set_background_opacity 0.9
map kitty_mod+alt+o>0 set_background_opacity 1.0

map kitty_mod+[ set_background_opacity -0.05
map kitty_mod+] set_background_opacity +0.05

map kitty_mod+alt+o>d set_background_opacity default

ahh cool i might go for the +/- to dial it in rather than setting it to an absolute value. i really wish they'd standardise the web so one solution would work over many different website colour schemes ha.
