Other Software
No.
I didn't use any tools like MicaForEveryone to modify the texture of windows.
previously: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/38659
I thought we had fixed that in https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/373
But you know what, we switched to the standard acrylic about the time we merged into PT, and I'm betting we didn't include the zadjii-msft#373 fix on the new acrylic
Sometimes I've seen CmdPal freeze, then crash on a theme change. I couldn't repro it on v0.91.1.
Along with the intermediate theme state, the Command Palette doesn't automatically update extension icons when the theme changes (see "Assigned to Me")
On recent dev I'm getting an animated flash after I toggled system dark mode. But not like the ugly "I've nothing to render yet". My current app and system theme is dark. When I open CmdPal it's dark, then it instantly flashes to white and quicky, but smoothly, changes back to dark. I tried to record it, but the captured video only shows the gray half-state.
Edit: Oh, it is actually flickering color is backdrop's FallbackColor which seems to be stuck and not switching with the theme. And also tint colors sometime won't update.
Edit 2: Oook, so... I'm in the dark theme and my colors go like this for some time after theme change:
- Light fallback color
- Dark tint color
- Light tint color And then it auto-magically fixes itself 🤯. GetAcrylicConfig is returned with values for the correct theme.
Sometimes I've seen CmdPal freeze, then crash on a theme change. I couldn't repro it on v0.91.1.
I was able to crash CmdPal regularly while testing Toggle Dark Mode. The crash often occurred when I rapidly switched between modes, but it still seemed somewhat "random." This behavior appears to be more of a WinUI issue than something specific to CmdPal. I just leave the stack trace here for future reference.
