Windows Terminal version

1.17.11461.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.3271

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Toggle on "Enable acrylic material" at Appearance>Transparency menu

Expected Behavior

A translucent texture should be applied to the background of the window.

Actual Behavior

The translucent texture is not applied to the background of the window, neither for Prompt command nor PowerShell, Azure Cloud Shell and VS 2022 windows . Tested pretty much everything by enabling it with diferent themes, tools, oppacity values, on both default and specific profiles and even edited settings.json and added a "useAcrylic": true line for different color schemes and still nothing. Does this feature actually work or is it a bug with the installation on my computer?
