Titlebar chrome buttons wrong color "invisible"

[HEIC-to-JPEG-Dev]

Which version of the app?

WinUI 3 Gallery

Description

The titlebar chrome buttons (minimize, maximize, close) are not visible. Screenshot below.

I think this is because the Windows 11 setting "Show accent colour on title bars and window borders" is checked. Turning this off solves the issue - but I (and I assume lots of people) have it switched on.

Windows version

Windows 11 23H2 (22631)

Additional context

As a developer I know this issue and it has to be manually managed in code as the AppWindow theme system is broken. Using th enew Titlebar control in SDK 1.6 fixes the issue.

I am unable to repro, can you provide more detailed repro steps?

I wonder if it's from WinUI-Gallery setting AppWindow TitleBar's caption button colours as a workaround here:

WinUI-Gallery/WinUIGallery/Helper/TitleBarHelper.cs

Line 27 in cb323e1

public static Windows.UI.Color ApplySystemThemeToCaptionButtons(Window window)

If you close the app, and then set this in Windows Settings, on Windows 11, you should be able to reproduce the issue

Ideally, a window shouldn't have to mess with code like this and the solution is to be as "native" as possible.

Seen this so many times for so long, I wonder if Microsoft will ever fix it...

Using th enew Titlebar control in SDK 1.6 fixes the issue.

The titlebar control is not in 1.6, it was pulled :(

OMG! What's the source for this info?

[HEIC-to-JPEG-Dev]

They announced it on the developer call. No ETA. Had to pull it from my app and revert back to older code

I can answer this question - it is true that Titlebar will not be shipping in 1.6, however, we are still committed to shipping the control eventually. It's looks "pulled" since experimental APIs cannot be shipped with a stable release.

Hopefully I can provide more info to this in a couple of weeks :)

Are we saying this won't be fixed until SDK 1.7 ?
