Opensource alternative to windowblinds11/13/2023 I still do YouTube stuffs lol, just not in RS anymore.Īnd I expected the lack of blurring to be a deal-breaker for me as well, but I did ultimately get used to it since the faintly transparent window doesn't look gaudy without a blur. do i know you? feel like it might be runescape lol. Old screenshot but its the closest ive ever gotten to windows 7s aero on windows 10.Įdit: your name. being a graphic designer, tga is extremely outdated and not a user friendly format at all. curtains is far better than window blinds from what i heard, the use of png files is huge. if i can easily port my atlas theme to curtains, i may just do so if the blur really is a thing. ive been sticking to the dwm patch and my personal windows 7 theme for now though, the blur really is a dealbreaker for me, especially the ability to use acrylic. I couldve sworn curtains had the feature to blur the window frame, at least from some screenshots i was looking at. Hope you enjoy, and hope this helps hold people over until BigMuscle returns, if he does. It sure beats the stock Windows 10 look by miles IMO. I've gotten used to the differences though, and find that by setting the color theme to a light-ish gray, the benefits make up for the lack of blurring and lack of the glass movement reflection effect. If I ever figure out if that's possible, I'll also try to modify the theme with it. I THINK Curtains might also lack the feature that allows for the glassy looking reflections to move behind the window frames, which is a distinctive look of Windows 7, but I'm not absolutely sure if that's the case. If that's a deal-breaker for you, then I wouldn't recommend Curtains themes at all. This theme does not have blurring behind the Window frame, because Curtains as a whole lacks that feature. I also use "StartIsBack++" and "OldNewExplorer" to further push Windows 10 towards a Windows 7 look. All I did was make a few changes here and there to touch it up. Full credit to atslah01 for the base theme. I feel I've modified it to the point where it's worth sharing with others. Thankfully, Curtains is PNG based, so modifying the issue I had wasn't a big deal. I thought the rounding on the corners didn't look sharp enough, the forced blue color made blending it in with non-blue backgrounds was impossible, among a few other things listed in the download page. I checked it out, but found a few issues with it that I really wanted to fix. Recently, within a post on this very sub-forum, I found a theme for Stardock Curtains called "Eleven Seven". I tried a Windows 7 theme for WindowBlinds, which looked great, but WindowBlinds caused my quite overpowered computer to lag quite a lot. But seeing as BigMuscle has gone MIA (which I totally respect, life happens), I decided to look for a legitimate alternative that I felt fit the look and feel of what Glass8 was going for. Heyo! I've been a supporter of Glass8 for quite some time now, to the point where I would usually delay updating Windows 10 until Glass8 was ready as well.
