Important
micaType with other value than 0 should not be used with HDR and ACM (Auto Color Management).
Due to Windows bug using micaType with other value than 0 and/or with useDark=0 can cause visual glitches, with HDR/ACM visual glitches are more severe (e.g. invisible controls).
It is also recommended when using with micaType=1 to turn off Settings -> Personalization > Colors -> "Show accent color on title bars and window borders" setting.
