Hey guys, I really appreciate all the effort in this project. I am experimenting with it and have been able to replace rounded corners for Big Sur. Now the only annoyance left are the window borders in dark mode, that are far too bright for my taste.
I already tried to change the color of windowFrameTextColor, gridColor and containerBorderColor to black, but that is obviously not the right answer. Has anybody done this before or understands which elements I would have to touch for this to work out?

Im using yabai to get rid of those. yabai -m config window_shadow off gets rid off window shadows plus the bright lines around them. So maybe you should take a look at WindowFrame_SeparatorShadow. Just a guess.

I'm certain that you have to take a look over in the Mica section and possibly in the FX section too.

I know from experience that with macOS Catalina I made a CAAR - CoreAnimationArchive file that Mica-section uses and that takes away the border. How that fares on Big Sur I don't know as I've only replaced the traffic lights so far.

I think I have a few Xcode projects over on my Github that can create a CAAR file with a color for you to try. Or try the trial of KiteCompositor to make one there. More visual.

the testing of themes on Big Sur with all the rebooting is too much, but if anyone has a better approach - please tip me of. 😃
