GoldenGateGlass

Glass surfaces for modern Windows apps.

An alpha preview of a reversible WinUI theme engine with adaptive acrylic materials, refined sidebars, toolbar pills, settings, telemetry, and tray behavior.

GoldenGateGlass Alpha
Adaptive Liquid Glass Preview Tier-aware app-owned surfaces with safety-first fallbacks.

What it includes

Adaptive materials

Tier A/B/C policies choose acrylic, fallback fills, motion, refraction flags, and contrast behavior.

App-owned surfaces

Sidebar, toolbar, flyout, dialog, settings, and command palette are all scoped to the app.

Theme JSON

Import, export, and persist clarity, tint, highlight, shadow, contrast, and motion settings.

Tray utility

A crisp tray icon exposes Open, Settings, and Exit actions for day-to-day testing.

Safety first

GoldenGateGlass does not patch system files, modify Windows shell resources, install unsupported theme hooks, or style other applications. It respects Windows transparency and animation preferences and keeps uninstall clean.
