Feature: System title frame

[XiaoTDM]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Add an extra option to control whether Files is allowed to use the system Mica as the background layer directly (i.e., use the system title frame directly).

I am using DWMBlurGlass, which works very well in various default WinUI 3 programs, and I hope Files can support it too. Since the principle of DBG is to replace the rendering of system background frame, it can be achieved as long as Files uses system frame.

Requirements

• Add a 'System Default' option to the 'Appearance - Background Material' drop-down menu;
• Modify the logic for the application background so that when the above option is selected, it directly reverts to the system-level background.

Files Version

4.0.11.0

Thank you for your feedback, do you mean to not extend into the title bar? If so, this adds a layer of completely around the tab bar and the entire interface that we would like to avoid.

I used translation software, and it seems that some details were lost.
What I roughly mean is to let Files support using Window.SystemBackdrop API, so that DBG's custom blur effect can be applied to Files.

Files already uses the regular backdrops supported by WinUI.
