Originally created by @ksio89 on GitHub (Jul 28, 2023).

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?

Hey, for me the "Enable acrylic material" setting only worked while editing the settings on the specific profiles. Initially, the default profile didn't work but after messing with the values in the PowerShell profile and resetting it, the default profile only worked then. I don't know why that happened though because I have never changed the settings in the PowerShell profile before.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. For me the option is only applied after rebooting, maybe after logging off and in again, but I haven't tested it yet. No big deal, sooner or later it will work.

For any that haven't solved this issue:

Nothing worked for me, no matter the amount of enabling acrylic individually in profiles, "Default", "Appearance", "Rendering", and also enabling Windows Color/Theme settings "Transparency effects".

What fixed it for me was changing the "Opacity" settings to 100%. As soon as opacity was 100% (in each of the settings menus/profiles: I'm out of patience to test individually), transparency immediately started working.
