Replacing Microsoft Edge Chrome's look and Feel
Also, the translucent effect we had in the title bar in Legacy Edge should come back to Edge Chromium may be on all edge supported OS or just on Windows 10 plus there should also be a transparent effect in the left pane of settings page like the Settings app of Windows 10 as HotCakeX had discussed in some old conversation.
Translucent effect found on the left Selector pane in Windows 10 Settings app.
TheShaunSaw That transparent theme is part of the Windows 10 design language called "fluent design". Windows 7s was called "aero". Microsoft hasn't added fluent design to Edge yet, partially because I think its difficult to make those kind of changes to Chromium.
Edge is also available on other platforms so they cant just borrow the code windows gives them. That's also why the scrolling isn't as good. 😞
There is a discussion but its one of the 10 page ones that gets us nowhere.
Yes, I know what you are saying and I also thought the same in the past that it would be difficult to bring the acrylic theme to Microsoft Edge Chromium. As you can see, Windows 7 used to apply the aero glass theme on all windows so all windows had the same translucent window frame but in Windows 10, it is not the same and it is in the hand of application developers whether to make their window frames, menus, etc. translucent or not.
As you can see today, Major OS in the market has turned to the translucent design language with Windows 10 in 2017 and the macOS Big Sur which was just announced in WWDC will be also bringing the translucency to more areas in the OS. So, I think Microsoft Edge should make a translucent Window frame like the Edge Legacy, also make the selection pane in the settings page and more areas in Edge Chromium translucent on the OS which it supports.
TheShaunSaw correct, these are what I was looking for.
I am mainly looking for a way to be able to manage some basic settings using small setting menu and for more advance one refer to advance setting which should be like what you are discussing.
