  • What apps are you using on win 11?
    Do those wallpapers tint the Windows apps too? I know there are a lot of people who hate the effect, but I personally love the Mica Effect, actually I'd love if they used Mica Alt instead of Mica as the main layer (just because Mica is too subtle, at least in Light Mode). I ask because I tried Lively Wallpapers, but I didn't like it because those dynamic wallpapers didn't tint the applications. Source: over 1 year ago
