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
