    Windows 2021 march 24 update; tablet mode background now semi-transparent


    The Windows 10 new version, that installed March 24 2021 on my tablet, now makes my tablet mode background picture pale, semi-transparent!

    Before, it was a nice solid picture. Now, It looks awful.

    It seems that your 'transparent' mode now makes everything transparent, whereas you should leave the background picture nice and solid and only make the icons semi-transparent.

    Please do NOT make peoples' chosen picture loom awful; only modify your icons.

    Turning tablet mode off restores a nice solid picture but then the icons are tiny on a small tablet screen.


    When I split the tablet mode screen in half, by dragging a browser window to one side, the other half shows a nice solid background again. But when I touch on the background side, it shows the menu icons and the picture goes pale/semi-transparent again!

    So, the problem is your menu icons make everything transparent, but really you should leave the picture solid.


    I tried turning off transparency in the settings-personalisation -colour page but that didn't change the problem.


    I have, at least, cured the awful blurring of my pictures by turning off that awful blur effect setting.

    :)

    Tablet Mode Background

    I am having an issue like this. I have a picture on my background, but when I switch to tablet mode the background is black. I tried to follow your instructions but I don't see anywhere that says "Make Start, Taskbar and Action Center transparent". I have
    a button to toggle transparency effects on or off, but when I set that to off, the tablet mode background just goes to the solid color that is the same as the accent color I have selected instead of showing my background picture as the tablet mode background.

    Desktop background covered by semi-transparent screen

    My desktop suddenly looks like it has a semi-transparent screen over it. When I click on a program icon on the taskbar, my background will be normal for a second before the program I clicked on pops up.
