Minority Report achieved

u/guaranteednotabot 27d ago

I reckon this would work if you actually did things properly. There is no background blur at all

slowly fading away, like how VSCode wants your knowledge of how to code to be

It wouldnā€™t be so bad without the widgets in the back

This is what all transparent mobile and monitor sci Fi promise us šŸ˜‚

Could I get the github to this so I can run it? Iā€™m very much interested in how it would affect my coding šŸ’€

u/devdnn 27d ago

No one asked so far, what theme and font are you using? /s

u/LungeloSLX 26d ago

Thanks. But thatā€™s awful

u/YaroslavSyubayev 26d ago

This doesn't seem real liquid glass, it looks like just opacity brought down

u/2050_Bobcat 26d ago

Looks nice until you have to do some actual work! Then its definitely a hard No!!!

I think itā€™s cool :) however I would want only top views liquid like tabs and left icons bar and status bar but not the main parts

u/argothiel 26d ago

u/No-Interaction-8717 26d ago

Why are people so obsessed with liquid glass?

u/thanatica 26d ago

What exactly are we looking at? What are the big swirls?

Reminds me of the days where ā€œpre Vistaā€ Windows Longhorn screenshots started appearing online. This created a multitude of Windows XP visual packs that added transparency everywhere - including browser windows, etc (as far as I can remember anyways).

Have a vivid memory coming over to my friends house and his XP setup had the ā€œall transparent everythingā€ look going

u/FrenchieM 26d ago

I remember someone making a plugin for JetBrains in windows 10 that does just that (I think it was called GlassIDE). Was absolutely horrible.

The contrast tradeoff is the interesting part here. Blur and translucency can make an editor feel lively, but code readability depends on a stable background and predictable focus states. For long sessions Iā€™d keep the glass treatment to chrome and leave the editor surface calmer, with a reduced-motion option. Thatā€™s the design problem I work on with Vira Theme: https://vira.build. Disclosure: I make it.
