Windows frosted glass utilities

This cluster consists of Windows desktop utilities that apply a frosted-glass or acrylic blur effect to windows, with varying degrees of customization such as opacity, tint, and blur strength. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from, with only one dated entry. Among tracked members, GlassForge leads on traction with 11 stars, followed by WinGlass with 4 stars and win-glass with 1 star.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
