    First one is BGE on my current Win 7 rig. Second one is System Transparency on my new Win 11 rig.

    There are several issues :

    1. System Transparency only alters transparency.
    => BGE also adds a nice blurriness effect.

    2. System Transparency alters the whole window (including the top part and the bottom part), which makes it hard to see when there are several windows on top of each other.
    => BGE doesn't alter the top part and the bottom part of the window. Those two parts remain opaque.

    Issue 2 is why I had to reduce transparency level (224 in System Transparency) which is why my second window appears darker. If I reached the same transparency as the first one, my system would become unusable.

    I'm surprised that in 2024 nobody has come yet with a better solution, and we have to rely on old apps.
    Isn't there any other way to reach the visual result that I desire ?
    they are two different Windows system themes and it is very difficult to explain
    this is because each individual theme can still be modified using the windows style builder
    any part of windows explorer can be blurred or dark or completely transparent or have any color like any other part or font
    everything can be simply modified and used according to your own ideas
    today it is possible to change or hide any part of the Windows window
    navigation bar or sidebar or forward and back arrows can be completely invisible as well as window search
    therefore, the system transparency application does not work in one click
    your windows theme is also different because the new themes are modified specifically for applications (shell) OldNewExplorer and StartIsBack/StartAllback
    for better understand here some of my screenshots
    one theme with different windows style builder settings
