Vibrancy on windows #162

Closed Malberee closed 5 months ago

Malberee commented 6 months ago

How can I achieve the background blur effect? I tried the backgroundMaterial property and it doesn't work. image image

Simple you can't do much, because of electron. You can remove "opacity" and you will have some type of acrylic but there is some bugs, maximize button does not work, white screen on startup and etc. Electron is sucks and that is fact.

Just example on Win11.

Is there any way to use Vibrancy continued extension together with APC Customize UI++?

amnweb commented 5 months ago

It seems that the new update 1.88 moved some things forward. Now, acrylic and Mica are working.

But there are strange things when VSCode is inactive; I can's find a solution to change this inactive background color or keep them all the time with acrylic.

try

 "apc.electron": {
// macos - Specify how the material appearance should reflect window activity state on macOS. Must be used with the vibrancy property.
    "visualEffectState": "active" or "followWindow" or "inactive"
  },

As I can see on the Electronjs doc, this is working only on macOS, but we are talking about Windows. I have tried this and it doesn't work.
