Mica dark mode font is illegible when HDR/ACM enabled

It seems that it should be the DWM blur issue.

I also want to know if the Mica dark mode is OK when HDR/ACM is not enabled.

I will workaround that according to your answer of the question I asked.

Yes, if HDR/ACM is disabled everything works fine. DWM disables the scRGB composition pipe when taking screenshots, so I have to use OBS to capture the problematic image, if I use snipping tool, I only get a normal image.

Thank you very much. I think I will make the workaround that with the following policies:

• The legacy UI parts of NanaZip will not use the Mica effect in the dark mode if the HDR/ACM is enabled, except the title bar.
• If I have migrated the Win32 menu bar and Win32 toolbar to the new XAML-based command bar in the main window, I will use Mica for the title bar and XAML-based command bar.

I have tried to add the HDR/ACM check for workaround this issue.

I hope you can test the latest commit. Thanks.

I'm just tring the new 3.0 version and with the dark theme i have a strange behaviour: all the text in the interface have somekind of bold text effect, when the mouse cursor goes over it, the bold's effect is removed and the text becomes normal.

Here some screens:

I hope you don't mean these ones because these are fantastic, wonder why msft doesn't do it to legacy parts of Windows.
