Quiet startup

• quietStartup: true hides the default Pi startup header text.
• Toggle it in /settings (or set it in settings.json).
• If you want the fancy ASCII header from pi-startup-header, leave quietStartup off / false so the extension can show it. With quietStartup: true, startup chrome is suppressed.

Notes

• Pi has no transparency options. Empty theme colors ("") use the terminal default; solid *Bg hex paints over glass.
• Real glass/blur/image transparency is 100% Ghostty (background-opacity, background-blur, background-image*).
• Swap ~/image5.png for your own wallpaper path.
• Quiet mode: set "quietStartup": true in settings, or toggle it in /settings.
