Description of the new feature/enhancement

There are a few app settings that end up getting ignored if the OS has certain settings:

  • Appearance > Theme is ignored if the system is in HC mode
  • Appearance > Disable pane animations is disabled if Windows disables all animations
  • Profile > Appearance > Enable acrylic is ignored if the system is in HC mode, or the Disable transparency option is enabled
  • from Documentation issue with Acrylic #12692:

    While turning on Acrylic on the windows terminal if the windows setting Transparancy effects is not turned on (Windows Settings -> Customize -> Colors -> Transparancy effects) the acrylic effect will not take effect. Feedback about this feature should be given to the user while trying to turn acrylic on without this setting on.

It’d be nice to have an indication when a setting is not going to do anything. For example, the OS Settings app has these:
OS Disabled setting 1
OS Disabled setting 2
