Could you share your settings.json file?

Does acrylic work anywhere else in the OS?

In case it's not a coincidence, it could be an AMD driver issue.

@zadjii-msft I've been facing the same issue since the v1.13.10336 release of Terminal Preview yesterday. The acrylic has stopped working inside Terminal Preview, and works fine everywhere else in the system.

I have the "useAcrylic" set to True under "defaults" of "profiles" in the settings.json, and it used to work just fine prior to this update.

@zadjii-msft This issue resolved itself after a restart. Not sure how, but I don't have the problem anymore.

Huh. Weird. Well, hopefully it was just a one off glitch 😅

Wanted to report that this issue happens to me as well. I have "useAcrylic": true under defaults, and "useAcrylicInTabRow": true as well. The outcome is that the tab row is significantly brighter/whiter than previous versions, even though it does show a bit of the acrylic effect.

In addition, setting "theme": "dark" doesn't change the tab row color - still the same bright white, which is weird. The tab row should be dark acrylic in this case.

I'm using a laptop with Intel CPU/GPU and NVIDIA GPU. By default it's Intel GPU rendering.

No, it's not. I already clarified that it is using Intel GPU to render. Plus, this problem doesn't exist in any previous versions - nor in any other apps using acrylic - on my computer.

I hope you won't say it is an Intel issue then - I don't want this thread to go from blaming AMD to blaming NVIDIA to blaming Intel... That would be a little excessive ;P

Can I get a screenshot? I wanna know exactly what I'm looking for here. Light theme + acrylic titlebar does seem... off... in Windows 10, but I'm not sure that's what you're reporting here.

@zadjii-msft I cannot speak for the OP, but below is what I'm seeing. I do have "acrylicOpacity": 0.75 set under defaults. There is also a weird white space (gap) under the tab row for inactive tabs.

wait, how did that happen?

I was just messing around trying to screenshots on Win10, and that first 1.12 SS looks like it has the titlebar partially visible through the acrylic or something. I didn't actually seen that but clearly the SS grabbed it.

Maybe that's what's affecting this. Maybe there's a weird DWM interaction between the system caption buttons. the transparent BG, and HostBackdropAcrylic

Regressed here: #12326 specifically: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/12326/files#diff-42b8e1723f803ad4ede2b8ca7547b6d2f9e3c12dd764a30e0789f379641e3b19

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="{ThemeResource SystemColorWindowColor}" />

So we're clearly evaluating ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush the same as the OS's ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush, not the actual theme at runtime. This is gonna technically be the same thing as #3917, but way more impactful

I wonder if this is because we're doing the titlebar acrylic brush creation manually. We're creating the acrylic brush based on the color that's already in TabViewBackground, which at this time is probably the light version of the resource - we haven't set up the RequestedTheme yet.

The dumb solution would be to set RequestedTheme earlier, but that won't fix the hot-reload scenario here. We could theoretically manually re-resolve ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush on a hot-reload, but that seems bodgy.

I don't think that would fix the pane brush either.

Note to self: TitlebarControl's BG is also set to TabViewBackground. That may also have something to do with it. I doubt we can just bind the titlebar's BG to the content's BG

Hokay, I've spent more than enough time on this for now.

Something weird is definitely going on here. I'd like to have a better solution, but I don't. dev/migrie/b/12356-attempt-2 has the latest state of my research into this. Creating a string literal xaml brush, parsing it, inserting it into the page's resources, then examining that brush's color at runtime worked, but only after a call to Dispatcher.RunAsync, so that it happened on a subsequent pass, after the Create call finished. That's mental.

I'm going with the hacky fix, which is in 82dd0e7c4. Just manually set the brush color for now. This is BODGY but hey, it's a good enough hotfix.

The fix was merged in #12460, which we haven't shipped yet. When a build with that fix is released, the bot will come through and ping this thread.

For now, a workaround would be to set your OS theme to match the Terminal theme. (e.g. set the OS to Dark theme)
