Playing around with the reflections textures and some archival transparencies from some beta builds of windows 8. I can’t help but feel this is exactly how this texture was meant to be applied to the explorer shell. Kind of like the office suite at the time, if any of you played around with the different textures you could apply there.

Note: My change log claims to be version 1.2(which comes after 1.14). Bliss 2016 rescan, a full res version of windows 11 img50, as well as PixelSense and office template backgrounds might be missing from the archive I linked. No idea what’s up with that.
Saving this for later. This is really clean. Does it work with flatpak and gtk apps?
GTK can be coerced into using the window frames. If you check out the git there are some discussions on this topic. Apparently gtk3-classic works best.
Definitely get involved! :)
