'gruvbox_transparent_bg' has no effect

[Maik93]

Hi, really nice theme!
I'm enjoying it a lot, there's only one thing that is left for me: I'd like to have the same background as the current shell.

I think that this should be handled by the variable gruvbox_transparent_bg, as stated in the wiki, but it seems to have no effect.
Searching for "gruvbox_transparent_bg" string on this repo, produces no results, so is this a feature that still needs to be implemented?

Thanks, it seems that that pull request isn't merged neither in this repo or in gruvbox-community.

Anyone else looking, adding this to .vimrc below the colorscheme worked for me:

colorscheme gruvbox
hi Normal guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
