Microsoft reveals why Windows 11 won’t get Liquid Glass-style UI, even though Windows Vista did it first with Aero.
Microsoft’s design team has confirmed there are no “immediate changes” planned for the transparency options already in Windows.
The reason is partly usability and accessibility, and partly because Microsoft looks at what the community is already providing through tools like Windhawk.
That’s fair, but also a little funny, because Windows basically did this first. Vista’s Aero Glass had the frosted glass look back in 2007, long before Apple turned Liquid Glass into its new design language.
Today, if you want that look on Windows 11, you need third-party mods. Windhawk can make Start, taskbar, notifications, and other shell surfaces look far closer to Apple’s Liquid Glass than Microsoft’s own settings allow.
I get why people want it. Windows 11 still feels too visually conservative in places, and customization has always been one of the strongest arguments for using Windows.
But honestly, I’d rather Microsoft focus on the basics first....
