Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.592]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.8

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Change the Windows theme to High Contrast (black). Open Windows Terminal. Notice how the acrylic effect just disappear and scrolling the mouse wheel while pressing the SHIFT key doesn't change the opacity either.

Expected behavior

Changing the Windows theme to High Contrast (black) should allow to still enjoying the acrylic effect.

Actual behavior

Changing the Windows theme to High Contrast (black) is not allowing to have acrylic effect in the terminal.

When you scroll the mouse wheel while pressing the SHIFT key, it doesn't changes the opacity either.
