Acrylic title bar

Well, actually this is a feature that I'd like to see in the whole OS, but since it existed in the old Edge, I'd love to see it in the Chromium version as well

Hi chivoyage, we are very aware of the ask for Acrylic touches on the window chrome.  So far we have been focusing on all of the controls that show up in the browser, updating them to match our current Fluent design specifications.  Many of these changes are subtle, but they add up.  I believe that Drew1903 has posted some side by side screenshots that make the changes that we have made more obvious.  We are still continuing the work to update the user interface.  I don't have a timeline for Acrylic changes.  Thanks - Elliot

Elliot Kirk Do "current Fluent Design specifications" call for Acrylic panes and title bars, or is Microsoft design moving back towards opacity? Can WinAPI apps incorporate Acrylic at all? What about the Reveal effects, which are not seen in the new Edge either?
