Describe the solution you'd like

Add a function to disable only transparency. Save other effects (text, window buttons, etc.)

Your reason (tell us why we need it)

Without DWMBlurGlass, window control buttons do not look the same as in Windows 7, and there is no way to implement glowing text using themes. Transparency needs to be disabled due to DWM performance issues. High CPU load when multiple windows are stacked on top of each other

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are no alternative solutions. Editing the theme style did not solve the problem

Additional context
A proposal to add disabling transparency through a setting in Windows while preserving other window effects.

You should be able to choose the SystemBackdrop blur method, which is an API for win11 and has no effect in win10, but the glowing text should remain.

I use Windows 10 22h2

What I mean by that is that it is a win11 API and will not have any blurring effect when used on win10. That means it's equivalent to turning off blur on win10.

Installing another program for the sake of this is a questionable decision. I try to keep the performance as in Windows 7

Windhawk has basically 0 performance hit, it uses less than 0.01% of the CPU
