Here transparent mean "use the previously defined background", not
real transparent.
If you use guibg=NONE, this means the background equals default text
guibg. There's no way to make guibg real transparent.
If you use ctermbg=NONE, this means the background equals background
of terminal, and you will got real transparency only if you can set
your terminal emulator to a trasnparent background.
hope that helps.
