# AcrylicEverywhere
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The repository is no longer maintained and I will continue my work on [OpenGlass](https://github.com/ALTaleX531/OpenGlass).
Upstream implementation of the [DWMBlurGlass](https://github.com/Maplespe/DWMBlurGlass) custom blur method.
In theory, the custom blur method is supported as low as Windows 10 1607, but it requires a lot of work, and the current code for the project supports as low as Windows 10 2004.
## Remarks
The name is a bit inaccurate, it should be called `TranslucentEverywhere`. At first I was only going to implement Acrylic backdrop effect, but based on Maplespe's request, I added more backdrop effects, such as Aero, Mica, Blur, GlassReflection, etc.
This project is not directly usable for production purposes, but you can easily develop it.
## To-Do
1. Fix glass reflection abnormal offset
2. Optimize aero effect recipe to make it more accurate
3. Optimize animated real-time blur backdrop in Windows 11 (not quite important)
4. Optimize program compatibility
