Known (MS undocumented) way to enable Acrylic stopped working in Windows 10 1903. Does someone know how enable it for win32 application under Windows 1903+. Also Windows 11 provides new Mica material. Who knows how enable it for win32 application?

  • There is a documented way that works with regular win32 apps, Windows 10.0.15063.0 up to 11. You must use Visual Composition through WinRT, specifically this method https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.ui.composition.compositor.createhostbackdropbrush (which works fine outside of UWP contrary to what one can think). Samples are here: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows.UI.Composition-Win32-Samples Don't know about mica but it's probably based on same backdrop brush technique with different effects. – Simon Mourier Oct 05 '21 at 16:00
