- Mar 06, 2022I was going nuts on this one as well. It must not look as bad for some people. I could not read the text at all with it on. I found a solution to turn the new feature off.

TidesterThanks. I've spent several unfruitful searches and tried dozens on setting. This one works!

Tidester Well, that resolve it for some menus, but the problem remains on other menus like the download menu and this one:
No idea what that dialogue box says. No idea where to click. My browser is locked until I click something that I cannot see.
Nice!!! It's a feature.
- TallTomDMar 10, 2022Brass ContributorResolved it by changing the "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" to D3D11on12
- Janto4JMar 11, 2022Copper ContributorThanks, I have the same problem on EDGE version 99.0.1150.3 and I have resolved with this option "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" to D3D11on12 and setting disabled on "Enable Windows 11 Acrylic effect in menus"
- TallTomDMar 07, 2022Brass ContributorAdjusting the acrylic effects resolved the issue. Thanks for your help!

After using it for a while the problem is still around and happens in other browsers as well. Try changing "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" to a setting that may work for you.
- TallTomDMar 10, 2022Brass ContributorThis resolved it when I changed the setting to D3D11on12.
Thanks!
