Window effects look strange on Windows 7 & 8.1 #26

Closed tangenx closed 2 years ago

tangenx commented 2 years ago

I rewrote the example with the window_manager library (because bitsdojo_window doesn't work on these systems) and ran it on virtual machines with Windows 7 and 8.1. And it looks... weird.

(I also ran an example from fluent_ui library.)

In Windows 8.1 (and in Windows 8, I guess) the effect is the same as in the video

No effects work on any Windows version lower than Windows 10 1803.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Dropping few of my other relevant work (if helpful). My fork of device_info_plus that you can use to query Windows version (that can be used to check for build higher or equal to 18362): https://github.com/fluttercommunity/plus_plugins/pull/814

My fork of bitsdojo_window with better resize hit-test & Windows 7 support (no hate on window_manager): https://github.com/bitsdojo/bitsdojo_window/pull/139

Anyways, I never used this project or "fluent design" in any of my Flutter projects. Not really that good looking when using without mica or other OSes, just becomes flat design.

Windows 7 has another publicly documented method to achive blur. image but not a part of this project.
