Windows Limitations

Here are the limitations imposed by Windows. This page is structured in a Q&A format.

• Q: Changing the backdrop type doesn't do anything. What can I do?
  A: You need to update to Windows 11 version 22H2 or higher, as the other backdrop types do not work in earlier versions.

• Q: Can I change the window transparency when using Mica?
  A: No, Windows does not allow that. The Mica material is designed to be efficient and use less CPU/GPU resources, and transparency is resource-intensive.

• Q: Can I change the border radius on Windows 11?
  A: No, the API used by MicaWPF does not allow such modifications, and there is no alternative API that MicaWPF can use.

• Q: I am having issues compiling the software on Windows 11. What can I do?
  A: You can either upgrade to Windows 11 version 22H2 or use MicaWPF.Lite, as the problem is caused by a WinRT issue on Windows 11 version 22000.
