Start11 Acrylic Blur Option?

August 19, 2021 4:58:58 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Win10 v21H1 b19043.1165

Is there a setting in Start11 for it to use Acrylic Blur?  I haven't found it, and I have a standard blur Start Menu mixed with WB acrylic blur TB and Window frames, looks a little "wrong".

Thanks.

And now I see that Curtains is using Acrylic Blur on the Start menu, so maybe it's a WB thing?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I see some setting on transparency available on some Style option. Not really sure if it Acrylic blur or just normal blur. I can't really tell them apart. Anyway, I have forward your question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Basj,

Thanks, but, I think its best to wait for those who know more on Start11 on this one. ie. Support or Dev team.

Thank you,

Sorry, I wasn't rushing you, I just realized a picture would probably be helpful.  (You may have noticed that I seem to "think in pieces" anymore.   )

In WB settings on the settings page at the bottom have you ticked Force non acrylic blur on later Windows 10 versions?

It wasn't ticked.  I sat here and played with it, ticking and applying, unticking and applying, and it seems that setting controls the taskbar and window frames but the start menu is ignoring it.

I think I know whats up, WB isn't aware of Start11 only Start10 so isn't swapping modes to acrylic when needed.  This can probably be tweaked in a future Start11 update to make it aware of WB instead.
