OpenGlass Wiki

OpenGlass restores Aero-style glass effects by loading an architecture-specific OpenGlass.dll into dwm.exe. The unified installer selects the DLL for the detected Windows build automatically. Because OpenGlass hooks private DWM implementation details, verify exact-build compatibility and keep recovery options available.
