Describe the bug

The taskbar music widget is actually not blurry, unlike all other Flyout panels.
It might not be visible during regular Windows use, since it's above the taskbar, but with Windhawk one can shrink it and then it would no longer be above the acrylic layer

To Reproduce

1. Get Windhawk
2. Install the taskbar styler mod
3. Set the theme to WindowGlass
4. Then in the fluent flyout settings adjust the padding until it's in the desired position (depends on screen resolution)

...

Logs, screenshots & additional context

Actual flyouts are indeed blurry

Ideally out could have a similar blur as the taskbar, letting content shine through as if it was acrylic glass

Desktop

• OS: Win11 25H2
• FluentFlyout version: latest from the MS store

Hi, thank you for the report!

The reason the widget's background isn't actually blurred is because it's mainly designed for the native Windows taskbar, knowing there's already a layer of blur behind it (double blur would look a bit off), but I'll look into it.

Also, perhaps there's a customization option in WindHawk to set a blur container behind the widget?

By the way, there's an option in Settings > General to adjust the Acrylic blur of the flyouts to get it closer to your customized taskbar blur. Try that out as well!

Yep, I assumed that was the intention, which is why it isn’t actually blurred. If possible, though, a setting to enable it would be highly appreciated. Maybe even tucked under a dropdown like Padding, so people don’t enable it accidentally. For my specific setup, it would be a huge improvement.

Also, many thanks for the Acrylic blur Opacity suggestion, I managed to get the exact blur I wanted!
