Google Chrome Titlebar

[timea-techgirl]

Describe the solution you'd like

Glass effect on Google Chrome's titlebar

Your reason (tell us why we need it)

People mostly use browsers on their computer, it's the most used app. So, it would be great to see glass effect in the browser titlebar, especially Google Chrome

Describe alternatives you've considered

There was a flag, --disable-windows-10-custom-titlebar in the past.
It stopped working a few months ago. Now, there is support for Windows 11 Mica titlebar but it doesn't work on Windows 10
There was a patcher known as AG4FFCR ver.0.0.0.11 which patched Chrome and Firefox's titlebars.

This can't be implemented in the dwm side.

this issue is entirely unrelated to dwmblurglass

Oh, that's sad. At least windows 11 users can enjoy mica titlebar.

Found a way to achieve it on Windows 10...

• Install Application Verifier
• Add chrome into it and untick all options
• In Compatibility > HighVersionLie, enter the build number as 10.0.22631
• Save and exit
• Open chrome://flags
• Enable Windows 11 Mica titlebar
• Restart chrome and you have the beautiful glass effect
• If you have any themes enabled, disable it in Chrome settings > Appearance or the titlebar effect will not be seen

This may work on Edge, I haven't tested.

Much easier solution @timea-techgirl, just use Supermium if you're on W10 and really want to use native-titlebar, as it re-adds the disable-windows10-custom-titlebar flag to chrome://flags and doesn't need any build spoofing nonsense.

Nice @timea-techgirl , do you know if there's a way to achieve this on Firefox? Without involving something like Echelon that is, just vanilla Firefox but with Aero.

Is it supposed to work out of the box @jonm58 ? I couldn't find anything on how to enable Aero.

@lucassilvas1 @jonm58 It's funny to see what I wrote ages ago on Reddit being referenced here, the world is small. Meanwhile I found a way to do this without having to mess with the firefox.exe:

Save the manifest as a text-file and name it firefox.exe.manifest and place it next to the actual firefox.exe. Then follow these instructions: https://github.com/superzanti/high_dpi_external_manifest_files

and Firefox should adhere to the external manifest the next time it's started.
