DWMBlurGlass

DWMBlurGlass is a Windows UI theme extension and title bar customizer designed to apply blur effects and translucent styles to system windows on Windows 10 and 11. It functions as a visual modifier for the operating system, allowing for the adjustment of window decorations with custom blur radii and blend colors.

The tool features dynamic theme automation that synchronizes title bar color schemes with active light or dark mode settings. It also includes capabilities for legacy style restoration, which allows users to reset title bar button heights and glow effects to emulate the appearance of previous operating system versions.

The project provides a range of aesthetic configuration options for title bars, including the management of text colors and blur intensities. It further handles automated theme switching to align window elements with global system appearance settings.
