Glass and Aero style title bar for Modern/Universal apps and other apps

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Describe the solution you'd like

Option to enable glass title bar and Aero button style for Modern/Universal apps like Calculator, Media Player and Settings and selectively per app like for browsers or apps that force their own title bar theme.

Your reason (tell us why we need it)
For UI coherence.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have not found solutions elsewhere for this that are up to date.

Additional context

BAY ZED program. Thank you for your work and support.

A similar issue has been discussed before #194.
But the fact is that these UWP rendering flows are outside the scope of this project, and it is difficult to modify them in DWM.
We may start a new other project to accomplish this, but it will not be implemented in this project.
As for restoring the UWP titlebar, there is a corresponding windhawk mod available.
Forcing other win32 apps to use the background effect MFE can also be done.

Yeah, the only issue is that it only gives the close caption button to all the apps and not the window size nor minimise buttons, but I think Dulappy is already working on this as part of his Aero Window Manager project.

Bt,w I'm curious; do you and Dulappy ever discuss things about your projects together/help each other out with what you learn?
