Hi guys

When Windows Terminal is not active acrylic effect is gone. In Campbell scheme it simply becomes black. Is that an expected behaviour? If yes, is there any parameter i can use in config to keep acrylic effect on while window is not active?

Thank you.

Unfortunately this is by design.

The system-level policy for all acrylic applications is that only the active/focused window is allowed to display it.

So there is no parameter or config that you can use to always display it.

There are many issues with people asking about this(ex. #2326 #1886 #1747 #1505) so this should be marked as duplicate.
