Start11 Acrylic Blur Option?
Thursday, August 19, 2021 by DaveRI | Discussion: Start Menu Products
Win10 v21H1 b19043.1165
Is there a setting in Start11 for it to use Acrylic Blur? I haven't found it, and I have a standard blur Start Menu mixed with WB acrylic blur TB and Window frames, looks a little "wrong".
Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I see some setting on transparency available on some Style option. Not really sure if it Acrylic blur or just normal blur. I can't really tell them apart. Anyway, I have forward your question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Thanks, but, I think its best to wait for those who know more on Start11 on this one. ie. Support or Dev team.
Thank you,

Sorry, I wasn't rushing you, I just realized a picture would probably be helpful. (You may have noticed that I seem to "think in pieces" anymore.

In WB settings on the settings page at the bottom have you ticked Force non acrylic blur on later Windows 10 versions?

It wasn't ticked. I sat here and played with it, ticking and applying, unticking and applying, and it seems that setting controls the taskbar and window frames but the start menu is ignoring it.

I think I know whats up, WB isn't aware of Start11 only Start10 so isn't swapping modes to acrylic when needed. This can probably be tweaked in a future Start11 update to make it aware of WB instead.

And now I see that Curtains is using Acrylic Blur on the Start menu, so maybe it's a WB thing?
