Describe the feature that you would like added

This might be out of scope, but I'd really like to see fluent material backdrops / content views.
Avalonia already has a working implementation / approximation of acrylic blur on macOS.

From what I can tell, it should be possible to implement a 1:1 replica of acrylic blur in winui using Core Graphics, since you can blend with the host backdrop (?).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Avalonia implementation in native/Avalonia.Native/src/OSX/window.mm around line 1302 and the issue's references to Core Graphics and WinUI. Determine whether an equivalent fluent or acrylic backdrop is feasible for macOS in this project, then define the affected control or view and validate that it renders the requested backdrop effect.
