IT House February 14 news, in Windows 8 and its successor Windows 10, Microsoft abandoned support for rounded corners and Aero Glass in favor of a flatter and neutral user interface.
Windows 11 has restored support for rounded corners, and it now looks like the next major design update will be slightly similar to the Aero clear glass effect of the Windows 7 era.
According to WindowsLatest, the transparent title bar of classic Windows applications will make a comeback, perhaps acrylic or new material. Currently, the implementation of mica (which is a new type of transparency effect) is decided by the developer, so we only have the mica effect in some applications, and the rest of the application windows are simple designs.
According to a screenshot of Windows Run that was accidentally exposed during the Windows Developer Program webcast in January, the app's title bar is transparent, and Microsoft seems to be returning to the Windows Aero style adopted in the Windows 7 and Windows Vista eras.
The Aero Glass theme for Windows 7 / Vista gives the application window title bar ,including menus for buttons such as Minimize, Maximize, and Close — a soft, translucent appearance.
IT House understands that It has the potential to use acrylic effects for title bars of all classic apps, while keeping mica effects for windows. Unlike acrylic effects, mica is an opaque effect that works well with application windows, title bars, and even backgrounds.

Acrylic is a fancy, more resource-intensive, Windows Aero-like effect that can display desktop wallpapers and other windows behind active applications.
It's unclear when Microsoft will apply this effect, but it's reported that the 22H2 version of Windows 11, also known as Sun Valley 2, may reintroduce this look to the app's title bar.
