Windows Terminal version

No response

Windows build number

1.15.2524.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Enable Acrylic blur for the terminal windows. Switch focus between the Terminal and another ap

Expected Behavior

When gaining focus the window should become more opaque, when losing focus the window should become more transparent

Actual Behavior

The inverse of the expected behaviour—when gaining focus the window becomes more transparent, when losing focus the window becomes completely opaque.

The issue is not necessarily the blur. A non-focussed window would be fine if it wasn't blurred, but it shouldn't be more opaque than a focussed window. If GPU resources are really that precious you could give the user the option to turn off blur for non-focussed windows (or just trust the user not to turn on the acrylic blur feature at all if their GPU is a potato).
