A Liquid Glass makeover for the phone camera page.

🪟 Liquid Glass

The floating controls — status pill, stats badge, icon buttons, corner Stop, lens pills, the zoom slider, the toggles, the More sheet, toasts and cards — are retextured as Apple-style Liquid Glass: a stronger frosted blur that picks up and refracts the colours behind it, a bright specular highlight along the top edge, and soft depth. The Start button gets a glossy sheen and the zoom knob a subtle gradient.

Tuned for a real webcam, not just looks:

  • The tint stays dark enough that white text (lens labels, stats) stays readable over any background — bright scenes included.
  • The blur strength is moderated so it doesn't tax the GPU/battery on long streams (the glass re-blurs the live video behind every control, every frame).

Purely visual — nothing about streaming, quality, or the controls changed. All the reliability and design fixes from v1.6–v1.7 are included.

📦 Install

  • PhoneCam-SingleFile.exe — one file, nothing to unzip (first run unpacks ~20 s, later runs instant). SmartScreen may warn → More info → Run anyway (unsigned, not harmful).
  • PhoneCam-Portable.zip — the classic folder; extract anywhere and run PhoneCam.exe.

Upgrading? Replace the app and reload the phone page once (⟳).
