 ## Transparency effects

-Choose your preferred backdrop material to add a layer of transparency to your window background. Opt for Mica Alt for a subtle effect (note: Mica requires Windows 11) or Acrylic for a frosted appearance. To fully appreciate these effects, ensure your background color is set to transparent.
+You can adjust the visual flair by choosing a backdrop material:
+
+- **Mica** – A soft, dynamic material that subtly incorporates the desktop wallpaper and theme color. Requires Windows 11.
+- **Mica Alt** – A higher-contrast version of Mica for increased visual distinction. Requires Windows 11.
+- **Acrylic** – A frosted, blurred transparency effect that creates a glass-like appearance. Supported on Windows 10 and 11.
 
+Tip: For these effects to shine, be sure the app background includes some level of transparency.
 
 ## Background color
 
-Personalize the background color of your window from a spectrum of pre-selected shades. For a unique touch, use the color picker to input a custom color or adjust transparency to your liking.
+Pick from a curated palette or use the color picker to select a custom color—fully opaque or semi-transparent. You control the vibe.
