A Windows utility that adds custom visual effects (Blur, Aero, Acrylic, Mica) to the global system title bar on Windows 10 and 11. It is written in C++ and hooks into the Desktop Window Manager to customize title bar appearance.
Use cases
- add blur effect to all window title bars on windows 10
- enable mica effect on windows 11 title bars
- restore windows 7 style title bar buttons and glow
- customize title bar blend and text colors globally
- apply acrylic effect to legacy apps using DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow
- switch title bar light/dark color modes automatically
When to choose
- you want system-wide title bar visual customization on Windows 10 or 11
- you miss Aero glass or Windows 7 style title bar effects
- you want Mica/Acrylic effects on editions or apps where they are unavailable
When to avoid
- you are not on Windows 10 2004 or later
- you cannot or do not want to hook system DLLs (DWM patching carries some risk)
- you only need per-app theming rather than global title bar effects
