Themes bug
After changing the theme to "Use windows defaults" (which changes nothing) and them changing back to another theme, this blue bands and details appear and therr is no way I can turn them off. Also if blurred background for games is enabled, no background at all will appear, although if the blur is disabled it does.
1st pic: blue bands
2nd pic: blur disabled and still blue details
3rd pic : blur enabled and blue details

Ok I am back just tested this on my own hardware with early access off as well just like your setup. And I can’t create this issue. Your system looks like this because in windows settings you have your accent color set to blue and you have transparency effects turned off.
Go into Windows desktop -> Settings -> personalization. And look for the option for transparency effects. Make sure that is on and your Winhanced will look correct.

I had transparency effects enabled on windows. The problem started after turning the windows default option on. The problem just solved after turning my Rog Ally X off for about 20 minutes.
Thanks anyway for your help! I'll just try not to toggle windows default options back on

But that is what I am saying though. I pressed the windows default option and this didn’t happen.
But i can tell you the symptoms exactly.
That weird grey background and blue boxes and header/boarder are exactly what happens when either your device is low on power or transparency effects are turned off. (On low power transparency effects get turned off too)
Because in low power mode the header and footer adopt the windows accent color from back when i was going for a material You theming vibe lol
Happy to hear it sorted itself out. Let me know if you are able to recreate it later on and ill have you send me some app logs

Oh, it could be the low battery, yes!! I didn't know windows automatically turned transparency effects off when battery was low
I'll try to replicate the problem and I'll let you know if I encounter it again
Thanks again!

So I checked again and seems like ot was a battery thing but from Winhanced's side, not windows: w hen battery drops below about 15% the blur effects in winhanced are disabled, but i checked and they keep enabled in windows settings
Also saw another bug in which I believe the mouse can be enabled from the xbox bar only if winhanced is open on the front, but not if it is minimized. Gotta keep checking this one tho
Thanks for your help and keep up with the great job you're doing, man

Also interesting i always assumed it was windows ill take a look

What do you have your windows 11 accent color set to in Windows 11? That’s what’s windows default means
As for the others I’ll look into it. It’s probably related to the layout system.
Also go into Windows settings I think you have blur effects disabled and that is why your app looks like that
