@Niels9001 FYI

@stefansjfw Yeah this is a WpfUI quirk :(

stefansjfw commented 10 months ago

👍 Thanks for the info. Could we do something about it ? Help fixing it there?

Yeah think that's the best approach 👍

Any news on this ? Also, will there be a fallback to acrylic or other blur methods for Win10 ? Perhaps bundling Mica could be a nice solution ?

‌‌I noticed the latest changelog contains the following entry:

Use Mica backdrop instead of Acrylic to resolve random crashes caused by the Windows composition being temporarily disabled.

However, the latest version of Mica still becomes ineffective after running for a while.

Exact, the problem persists in the latest version 0.81.0 @niels9001
