Description
Issue
The new MMTitlebarAppearsTransparent setting doesn't mix well with the set transparency=<non-zero> setting
MMTitlebarAppearsTransparent=false with set transparency=0
MMTitlebarAppearsTransparent=false with set transparency=<non-zero>
MMTitlebarAppearsTransparent=true with set transparency=0
MMTitlebarAppearsTransparent=true with set transparency=<non-zero>
Additionally, the solution should also work well with the blurradius setting, so the titlebar and window body appear seamless.
To Reproduce
Set MMTitlebarAppearsTransparent as on and transparency to be non-zero.
Expected behavior
The titlebar follows the existing behaviour and appearance of the window body with regard to the transparency and blurradius settings.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Vim version 8.2.1456
- Macvim version 8.2.1456 (165)
- OS: macOS 10.15.6

Done means the titlebar matches the window body's transparency and blur behavior and appears seamless in each relevant combination.
