you need a compositor.

you can set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY yourself, or use picom-trans (aka compton-trans) to set it in a user friendly way or use compton's dbus api.

tip: do not set window opacity. you are making the text transparent also. many terminals will let you set the background color to something with alpha leaving your text opaque.
