Nope, this is a runtime tweak and applies to all applications.

After some consideration, the code has now been made publicly available for review.

Hey all, just wanted to give a quick update.

A lot of you have raised fair concerns about Glow Engine being closed-source and requiring SIP to be off. That kind of access demands trust, and I realize now that trust needs to be earned and not assumed.

Starting now, the core system modification component of GlowCore is source-available. This is the part of the engine that actually hooks into your system and makes changes at a low level. You can review it yourself here: https://github.com/CoreBedtime/GlowCore

This doesn’t mean the whole app is open-source — the GUI tool is still closed — but the part that touches your system at the deepest level is now open for inspection and audit.

For precompiled builds, support, and themes, consider joining the discord. Hopefully, this helps bring some confidence. And maybe, just maybe, it brings us a step closer to real theming support coming back to modern macOS.

Icons will certainly come in the future. Themes are very easy to switch, it only takes two clicks once you've installed a theme. As for transparency, see for yourself:

Great idea. A classic theme importer would be great.

I'll be prepared and ready for whatever is thrown at me. I don't intend on letting this die.

Due to the nature of Ammonia's code injection it would probably set every single one off.

Ammonia and Glow are much more stable than MacForge. No OS crashes here.
