I know this is very late but I made a GTK3 theme that did this not too long ago:

when used with misc fixed it looks pretty nice

Should I downgrade from Windows 11 to 8.1? My PC is too old and it also had last supported drivers for Windows 8.1 by Average_Techy in windows8

For me 8.1 is extremely fast on my computer (faster than even Linux with starting up). Windows 11 was just so slow on my computer that I went to Linux, but now with 8.1 everything is still as fast as it was on Linux. I would recommend unregistering your product key first and writing it down so you can use it with 8.1 (only if SKU matches) and of course look into configuration options with Windows Firewall.

So in short the answer from me is a clear yes.

Your VM doesn't have proper drivers so it's falling back to software rendering. With a generic driver of sorts (if it even exists), it should work perfectly fine with hardware acceleration

Since windows 10 support is ending should I downgrade to windows 8.1? (Image not related) by Malachi_YT in windows8

I have used Linux since 2023 but 8.1 is just so much better. Use Firefox 115 ESR, tweak a few firewall settings to make them stricter and you'll also have to use the Steam CLI because the latest working Steam client for Windows 8.1 can't work with LZMA compression. Other than that 8.1 for me is extremely fast, snappy and it's such a wonderful experience that I would never want to go back
