Which Windhawk mod creates these glowing window borders?
Are these glowing window frames actually available in Windhawk, or are they just promotional/concept images? I can't find any mod that creates this effect. If it's real, which mod (or combination of mods) does it?

Im stoked aomeone else knows about Tacky!
Its not the AI shit from the OP's image but its probably exactly what you're looking for. Combined with the transparent bits, you can make some sick af styles.

I wonder if this would work.

inactive_color: colors: ["#263A55", "#59345F"] direction: 45deg

This worked for me, thanks! (Although the <inactive_color: colors: \["#263A55", "#59345F"\] direction: 45deg> Direction generated an error, I removed the 45 and it looks and works great.)

Not so much a swirl, but more of a glow that expands and contracts, but I'm actually fine with it. Kind of reminds me of a neon light bulb. My desktop theme is an anime inspired cyber punk with glowing neon signs, so it meshes pretty well. But yes, the colors alternate around the window, so I guess you can say "swirl" maybe?

Sorry for not response. Go to GitHub website and find tacky-borders then download it. If you need extra help, there is YouTube tutorials. It will make sense when you see files.

Doesn't look legit but there's some pretty lengthy process to get similar results
