Microsoft today launched a couple of new goodies for developers to check out. First, there's a new Windows 10 SDK preview, coming in at build 18282, which matches the most recent Fast ring build to roll out to Windows Insiders. Second, a fresh update to Windows Template Studio is out, ticking it up to version 2.5 with a handful of small improvements to check out.
With Windows 10 SDK preview 18282, there's only one noteworthy change for developers to be aware of. A new blend mode called Luminosity is available for the effect graph of the AcrylicBrush. "This blend mode will ensure that shadows don't appear behind acrylic surfaces without a cutout, Microsoft says. "We will also be exposing a LuminosityBlendOpacity API available for tweaking that allows for more AcrylicBrush customization."
