Demonstrates implementation of the Windows 10 Acrylic Effect on C++ Win32 Apps using DWM Private APIs and Direct Composition

Windows Interface Composition Engine is a .NET C# UI engine for creating Windows application.

DirectN AOT compatible version. Only for .NET Core 9 and beyond. Interop Code for : DXGI, WIC, DirectX 9 to 12, Direct2D, Direct Write, Direct Composition, Media Foundation, WASAPI, CodecAPI, GDI, Spatial Audio, DVD, Windows Media Player, UWP DXInterop, WinUI3, etc.

Electron-like desktop apps on .NET AOT + WebView2, single-exe, Windows (x64/x86/ARM64), front-end-framework-agnostic (React/Fluent UI layers optional).

Early experimental WIP. Do not use yet!

Minimal example of using DirectComposition to draw transparent windows with Direct2D.

A "just for fun" Windows overlay: procedural seasonal scenes (Grass, Desert, Winter, Autumn, Ocean) along the bottom of every monitor. Critters (sheep, cats, bunnies, hedgehogs) and ambient flyers (butterflies, fireflies, birds). Click-through, GPU-accelerated, tray-controlled. Two parallel impls (C++/Direct2D + C#/Vortice), x64 + ARM64.

Wine patches that make modern Windows audio software work on Linux: a DirectComposition implementation plus Direct2D, DirectWrite, DXGI, WineD3D and winex11 fixes. Targets JUCE 8, VSTGUI and SynthEdit/GMPI plugin GUIs in DAWs, and desktop apps like Ableton Live 12 and FL Studio. Branches for Wine 11.0 stable and the newest WineHQ devel tag.

DirectComposition Flip3D switcher

A tiny, always-on-top screen overlay that guides your breathing while you work. Completely transparent to mouse clicks, zero-dependencies, and ultra-lightweight.

A next-generation bento-box organizer for the Windows desktop—powered by Rust, built for quiet elegance.

SDK for creating Windows overlays: HUDs, interactive panels, tray icon. High perf Rust core with support for other languages Typescript, Rust, C, Python, Go, Zig and any other languages via JSON RPC

Matrix digital rain screensaver for Windows 11. Tiny tray app, GPU composited, multi-monitor, glass mode. No one should be paying for shitty screensavers in 2026.
