so the question is, is there a way to set translucent surfaces to use blur instead of acrylic on windows 11's taskbar and start menu (including volume and brightness flyout and taskbar elements and context menus in general) in my opinion looks a lot obvious and cooler than that boring acrylic

the foto of the taskbar using blur was made with classic shell, which only touches the taskbar, nothing else, (flyouts, startmenu), just if somebody asks

    Noisy but fast
Doesn't almost all new UI use mica, not acrylic. But yes, I don't like it as well.
As far as I no there is no way to directly change it. At least no easy way.
