Acrylic title bar
Through a 3rd party dev, was able to get Edge Chromium to use acrylic title bars and it is absolutely stunning. Microsoft should definitely integrate this natively into the app. So for those who think its not possible, if a 3rd party dev is able to do it, Microsoft should be able to.
matthewj15 this isn't true acrylic, this is Aero Glass with an acrylic type effect which has been hacked into the core OS, as your explorer window gives away. They won't be able to add true acrylic effects to Edge.

Why not? any technical reasons?
HotCakeX I mean, they *could* do it, but it would mean either major changes to Windows itself, which the Edge team have no control over, or to drop support for other operating systems other than Windows 10, or maintain two separate branches of the same browser, which they don't want to do, and the open source nature of Chromium may also play a factor also.

Wow that is stunning. Awesome job!
please share the program with us, would love to give it a try.
HotCakeX this is the "hack" being used - http://www.glass8.eu/ - but I don't recommend it because it's broken in Windows 10 1909 and tends to screw things up with major update releases.
