FluentWPF sample is broken

Hello Kinnara,

thank you for creating and sharing this awesome library! Quite impressive.

I’m trying to implement a navigation window with Acrylic brush and Theme support. It appears like rendering/styling of the FluentWPFSample application has been broken in the current release (8.3.0).

The AcrylicBrush is working, however the current ModernWPF DefaultWindowStyle seems to override some of the brushes. Removing the default window style restore the acrylic effect, but breaks theme support.

Cheers, keep up the good work,

Michel

Now that we’re going to have NavigationView in v0.9, it’s a good time to explore the possibilities of introducing support for acrylic.

I’ve hit this issue as well. To fix it I’ve dropped using FluentWPF default styles. Instead, I wrote a custom window style (derived from ModernWPF style) that essentially adds the acrylic layers (3 window-size visuals) to the ModernWPF window template, instead of retemplating the whole thing as AcrylicWindow does. The only missing bit was calling EnableBlur from FluentWPF internals, which I was forced to make public. I can post my solution tomorrow, but it would be better to have this built in ModernWPF instead (then, it could follow WinUI more closely).
