Get the Liquid Glass Theme on Windows 11!

Remember the stunning, translucent "Aero" theme from Windows 7 and Vista? That beautiful, almost liquid glass effect that made your taskbar and windows pop? Well, even though Microsoft moved away from it in modern Windows versions, the good news is you can still bring a similar glossy, "liquid glass" feel to your Windows 11 setup!


While Windows 11 does have some transparency built-in (like when you right-click your desktop or open the Start Menu), it's often inconsistent and doesn't apply everywhere. But don't worry, with a few clever tools, you can achieve a much more uniform and impressive glassy effect across your system.

Why the Glassy Look?

The "liquid glass" aesthetic, similar to what Apple has been doing with its recent iOS and macOS themes, just makes everything look more modern, sleek, and visually appealing. It allows your desktop wallpaper to subtly shine through, creating a depth that a flat design often misses.
