Colorization is inaccurate in the Aero shader on versions v2.3.0.2079-legacy and above

[n1d3v]

I have recently noticed that the Aero shaders colorization is inaccurate compared to Windows 7, despite using the same exact color. I have pinpointed to this to version 2.3.0.2079-legacy and anything above it. You can see the differences between the colors here.

(OpenGlass v2.3.0.2079-legacy)

(OpenGlass v2.2.2.2046-legacy)

(Windows 7 glass)

You can see in these comparisons, it looks like it got brighter somehow.

I used the Architecture theme to compare these, I assume it might've happened during implementing the Windows Vista infrastructure. I hope this helps in some way however.

I can confirm this issue as well. I’m using Windows 11 23H2 with the Architecture theme, and I’ve noticed the same brighter, less accurate colorization on versions v2.3.0.2079-legacy and newer. The older v2.2.2.2046-legacy version looks much closer to Windows 7’s original glass tone.

Good to know other people are also having this issue.

Interesting. I have not experienced this issue on the latest release that I am aware of. I will test this later and report if I also experience this issue.

It is not a colorization problem,the taskbar now uses inactive colorization instead of active.
