+            // because that _won't_ be an instance of TerminalApp::App in the
+            // LocalTests
+            try


How does this try-catch work with the magic static? If the try fails, is isElevated permanently stuck as false?

(Also, is this even a valid concern? Does Application::Current fail often?)

does Application::Current fail often

literally only in the tests, because Application::Current isn't a TerminalApp::App in the tests. With the magic static, we catch the exception as it's getting initialized, return false, and then put false in the static member to store forever

Right now AppLogic just sets a member on itself already when it is created, but also the implementation of IsUserAdmin doesn't actually rely on any part of AppLogic's state. Would it make sense to then make a free function/static function IsElevated somewhere else that could just be used directly without multiple layers of caching and indirection? As an optimization that IsElevated function could store a static member, should you choose to.

If that free function exists somewhere sufficiently up the stack, it could also be used for ApplicationState :)

FWIW there's one of my many branches hanging around that does this. I think it's going to get looped in to #11222 when I bump that next (hopefully today, likely monday tho)

What the devil, this is broken even for unelevated, tabsInTitlebar windows:

WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD

If you do it with a StackPanel, the StackPanel will overflow without a care in the world.

If you do it with a Grid though, then it will obey the MaxWidth. Weird.

LGTM. Let me know if you want to leave it as it is and I'll approve it.

In addition to the comments, the spacing feels a bit cramped to me. cc @cinnamon-msft for design oversight, but in the meantime... I wonder if it should have equal padding on the four sides compared to the tab itself.

I know -- the TabView has its own padding, which means that we need to pad the UAC shield asymmetrically to make up for it

Came up with a better solution:

Totally forgot about TabView.TabStripHeader, which is exactly what it sounds like, and does exactly what we want.

qq, should we make it less "bright"? right now it's the primary text color which is very bright on dark displays; we could tone it down a bit to maybe the SystemAltMediumColor?

In this one, the shield looks a few pixels too high:

In this one, the shield looks a few pixels too low:

I feel like it should be centered on the same vertical center line as the content of the tab...
