Compatibility
Supported as low as Windows 10 2004 and as high as the latest version of Windows 11 (Some blurring methods are not supported in Windows Insider versions).
Can be used with third party themes to further customize DWM.
We do not modify the rendering logic of the application itself, which is completely different from the logic of MicaForEveryone and therefore maximizes compatibility with third-party programs.
We reverse-analyzed DWM and created a custom blur method to bring stunning visual effects, but if you choose the "SystemBackdrop" blur method, it uses the system's publicly available interfaces and has the same effect as MicaForEveryone.
Not recommended for use with MicaForEveryone, we do not guarantee compatibility with it.
Compatible with ExplorerBlurMica, works better together.
Compatible with TranslucentFlyouts. (It should be noted that even though this project is compatible with TF, EBMv2 is not fully compatible with TFv2)

Material Effects

Blur
Basic pure blur. Nothing special.


Aero
Windows 7's glass effect, with saturation and exposure effects on the background when a window is inactive.



Acrylic
The acrylic recipe: background, blur, exclusion blend, saturation, color/tint overlay and noise.


Mica
The Mica recipe: blurred wallpaper, saturation and color/tint overlay.


MicaAlt
All of the above effects can be customized to blend colors.
MicaAlt is Mica with a grayish tone, you can modify the blend color by yourself to get the MicaAlt effect.
