All acrylic settings don't work.

• Are you running in a VM?
• On battery power?
• with Transparency Effects enabled in the settings?
• Does acrylic work in any other apps? (IIRC the Start Menu uses acrylic)/?

There's any number of reasons why Windows itself disables acrylic.

It's my host machine with Windows 11. I found an issue - I disable Transparency Effect in Windows settings. But transparency without acrylic effect in terminal work correctly with disabled feature Transparency Effect in Windows settings.

Sure, yea. The name for that OS-wide setting is a bit misleading. It just enables Acrylic & Mica. "vintage" transparency in the way the Terminal supports it is unaffected.

Thanks for following up!
