Enum IWindow.IDesktopStyle.WindowBackdrop

Namespace

Xui.Core.Abstract

Assembly

Xui.Core.dll

Controls the window backdrop and chrome style.

public enum IWindow.IDesktopStyle.WindowBackdrop

Fields

Acrylic = 3

Acrylic blur-behind backdrop (Windows 11). Similar to Mica but with a more translucent, in-app blur effect.

Chromeless = 1

No system chrome. The entire surface is client area and the app draws everything.

Default = 0

Standard opaque window with full system chrome (title bar, icon, buttons).

Mica = 2

Translucent blurred backdrop (Windows 11 Mica). System caption buttons are kept, but icon and title text are removed. The app can draw into the full window area.

Remarks

Windows: Default creates a standard WS_TILEDWINDOW. Chromeless uses WS_POPUP with no system chrome. Mica and Acrylic use DWM system backdrop APIs (Windows 11+) with system caption buttons but no icon or title text.

macOS: Chromeless maps to FullSizeContentView | Borderless. Mica and Acrylic fall back to Default for now.
