I got Mica to work with
ExtendClientAreaToDecorationHint
by usingUseWindowsUIComposition = true
along withExtendClientAreaChromeHints = PreferSystemChrome
Even though this issue is closed, I still have problems on Windows 11 and Acrylic Blur / Mica effects. On Windows 10, Acrylic Blur works perfectly fine, on Windows 11 it doesn’t work at all. Using Avalonia 0.10.10 and Windows 11 (22000.318)
Even the Avalonia Control Gallery demo doesn’t seem to have working acrylic either.
