Window Transparency
Thanks for creating this incredibly useful project
A really useful feature missing from WinUI 3 is window background transparency. It would be very useful if you could add support for this. Perhaps similar to Backdrop.Mica & Backdrop.Acrylic --> Backdrop.Transparent
While not officially supported someone has managed to do it here, however it is ridiculously over complicated. Official support tracked on Productboard and Github but i doubt it will occur any time soon.
Mica and Acrylic is already there but you need to compile the library with the latest preview. Once 1.1 of the windows app sdk ships this will have it too
hi, thanks for the quick reply. I think you may have misinterpreted my question, i was asking about Transparency not Mica and Acrylic
I'm already using Backdrop.Mica, its quite useful.
Matching WinUI issue: https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/1247
See https://github.com/cnbluefire/WinUI3TransparentBackground for an example of a transparent background.

Making some progress, and decided to abuse it :-)

Snapshot of @niels9001's design with this new API:
That's amazing 😁😁🚀🚀!
I was wondering - do acrylic brushes work with this as well?
EDIT: Just realizing you have that configured :-). Seems that actually blurring of the content below the window doesn't work - e.g. to get the Acrylic backdrop effect.
