# Description of the new feature/enhancement

The Mica style works on the whole window, so the “Settings” are prettier, but the Acrylic style doesn't look like that.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Settings view with Acrylic and compare it with the Mica presentation shown in the attached images. Trace how the two styles are applied to the Settings window; done means Acrylic provides the same whole-window appearance as Mica without changing unrelated views.
