+        Toggle window cloaking (invisibility while still being composed by DWM).
+        Useful for DirectComposition animations and special effects.
+        Note: Only supported on Windows 8 and later.

+        Args:
+            window (object): The window object to modify.
+            enabled (bool): True to cloak (hide) the window, False to uncloak (show).
