This commit fixes the issue where the tab row loses its acrylic material when the window loses focus, even when 'Allow acrylic material in unfocused windows' setting is enabled. The fix modifies the _updateThemeColors() function in TerminalPage.cpp to check both the UseAcrylicInTabRow setting AND the window focus state along with the EnableUnfocusedAcrylic setting. Now the tab row will maintain its acrylic effect when: 1. UseAcrylicInTabRow is enabled, AND 2. Either the window is focused OR EnableUnfocusedAcrylic is enabled This ensures that the 'Allow acrylic material in unfocused windows' setting is properly respected for the tab row, not just the terminal background. Fixes microsoft#19544

Oh, I'm sorry - I missed that this needed a final review.

Hi - sorry to reopen this issue but I am still having the exact same problem - tab row's acrylic disappears if the window is out of focus. On Windows Terminal Version 1.24.10621.0. Looks like this was not fixed in v 1.24? |
