Description
# Description of the new feature/enhancement
PR #17858 Added MicaAlt support and it looks so good that Windows Terminal now looks like a more modern and beautiful PowerShell ISE if you use the default Windows dark theme. But if Windows Terminal loses focus, it becomes ugly again.
Maybe consider add an option to enable Mica only when Windows Terminal get focus, otherwise disable Mica to re-allow acrylic style.
# Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing PR #17858 and the existing MicaAlt behavior in Windows Terminal. Determine how focus changes are handled and how the window switches between Mica and acrylic; done means Mica is disabled when the terminal loses focus and restored when it regains focus.
