Disable transparency using Windows settings In this article, I will walk you through the steps to disable the transparency effect in windows through two ways using Windows Settings app and Registry Editor. Luckily, Windows 10 has added the option to disable the transparency effect. However, some people do not like this feature, they prefer a solid and clean background. Many people love this feature as it adds a translucent texture and enables visual hierarchy. You can also observer this effect in many windows 10 default apps, like in the left bar of the settings app, the title bar of Microsoft edge, Photos app, and in Paint 3D. Microsoft added this transparency effect in several locations in Windows 10 including start menu, taskbar, action center, and title bars. Acrylic is one of the five other elements of Microsoft’s announced fluent design which adds transparency effect that reveals the desktop wallpaper or any other window positioned in the background of the currently active window.
Windows 10 OS is constantly evolving with many features and fluent design is the part of that evolution.
