Which version of the app?
WinUI 3 Gallery
Description
The Design Guidance > Color section is very useful, but would be much easier to use if there were some way to see the transparency effects. With only a blank background it is impossible to see how the transparency affects the visual appearance. It would be great to add a simple set of backgrounds with patterns and colors, behind the color swatches. That would let the user see how the transparency (and glass etc) work.
