Acrylic title bar
Elliot Kirk "We are still working on our user experience, and are trying to be very careful with the performance impact of these changes."
So long as transparency and other visual effects can be turned off (e.g. Control Panel, System and Security, System, Advanced system settings, Advanced tab, Performance, which is what I use along with turning off transparency to eliminate the visual effects that affect performance/battery) it makes sense for Edge Chromium to be consistent with Fluid Design principles.
I like the idea of a toggle (Fluid Design versus Performance Design, for example) switch in W10 Settings that would change design/performance settings across Windows 10.
Acrylic isn't possible in Win32 apps, and so the Edge team are trying to just hide / bury this fact under various excuses. Acrylic will never come to Edge Chromium until Windows itself supports acrylic in Win32, which it probably never will either.
FileTrekker Wrong, XAML Islands added Fluent Design support to Win32 apps as well, and you can already see this in the new Xbox Beta app, which is made in Electron and has acrylic effects as well
- SOI_7 There is no support for Acrylic outside of that enclosed ecosystem so it won't be coming to Chrome Edge. Sorry but it just won't ever happen.

And who said that? source?
- Yeah true,
I like the Acrylic style, remind of of Aero feature in Windows 7 with its transparency effects
