    DWMBlurGlass

    DWMBlurGlass

    Add custom effect to global system title bar, support win10 and win11

    DWMBlurGlass is a project/repository for Windows that aims to apply a “blur glass” aesthetic effect — i.e. translucent frosted-glass blur — to windows/desktop UI under the Desktop Window Manager (DWM). It is likely a small utility or library rather than a full game or engine, and caters to customizing the look and feel of windows for software that want a sleek transparent/blurred background aesthetic. Because its scope is narrowly defined — focusing on window rendering / UI effect — it is probably lightweight, easy to integrate in projects needing custom window decorations. This kind of project appeals to developers interested in customized UI, modded Windows applications, or aesthetic tweaks rather than full-blown applications or games. As with many small open-source utilities, using DWMBlurGlass involves incorporating its code or build into your own application so that windows render with blur/ glass-style background, giving a modern or stylized look.

    FreeRDP

    FreeRDP

    FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients

    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. Enjoy the freedom of using your software wherever you want, the way you want it, in a world where interoperability can finally liberate your computing experience. The nightly builds are installed into /opt/freerdp-nightly and can be installed in parallel with the distributions regular freerdp package. Network tracing of RDP can be quite a challenge due to a number of factors such as encryption, compression, and the fact that these protocol features cannot always be disabled or worked around. One of the easiest way of decrypting RDP traffic is to configure the server with a self-signed certificate for which the private key is known, and then use this certificate with a network tracing tool to automatically decrypt the packets.

    ModernFlyouts

    ModernFlyouts

    Modern UI replacement for Windows flyouts with customizable features

    ModernFlyouts is an open source application designed to replace the default Metro-style flyouts in Windows with a more modern, Fluent Design–based user interface. Instead of the old built-in popups for system feedback like volume, brightness, and airplane mode, ModernFlyouts temporarily intercepts those events and displays customizable flyouts that blend more seamlessly with recent Windows UI aesthetics. It extends beyond audio flyouts to cover media controls, brightness changes, airplane mode toggles, and even lock key indicators such as Caps Lock and Num Lock, offering a unified experience for all these system notifications. Users can adjust not just the look but the behavior of these flyouts (including layout, position, opacity, and animation) letting it feel more natural to individual preferences. The project’s roots trace back to AudioFlyout by ADeltaX, with further enhancements added by the community to support more flyout types and improved interaction.
