Window frame / tittle bar blur

from Stardock Forums

I just want to start by saying WOW! I've been looking for a way to get the classic Windows look back for ages and this piece of software has done that and much more! Absolutely fantastic! Really, the only feature it seems to be missing is the ability to blur the frame / tittle bar around a window. I've noticed quite a few threads discussing this topic as well, so hopefully this might be something you guys add in the future.... Aside from that, this utility seems to be absolutely perfect! 

All the best, 

Wade

Hello,
Yes, I believe there were few requests for it. And I do think that the Dev team know about it.

Thanks

The option for loading a reflection image would be a pretty interesting feature too! For an example, in Vista/Windows 7, when windows are moved, the reflection(shine) in the titlebar moves as well! I think alot of people are pushing this as well because there was a third-party software called glass-8 which brought back aeroglass from windows vista/7 for windows 8/10 and it worked really well! It had all of windows 7 features and then some! Since the developer have gone MIA, I think everyone is pushing for curtains to gain these features, which the transparency itself is why I bought Curtains. At the very least maybe this could be considered for WindowsBlinds 11?

(in this video at the selected time, gives an example of aero glass on windows 10, and how it works! also shows the reflection being added and working the way it did in windows vista/windows 7!)

(not advertising just trying to give examples! and I believe Aeroglass is hooked into DWM)
