### Firefox

3. Copy the `chrome/` folder and `user.js` into your profile folder, then restart Firefox.
4. Open `about:config` and enable these keys:
   - `widget.windows.mica` — Mica on the browser frame
   - `widget.windows.mica.popups` — set to `1` (Acrylic) or `2` (Mica) for menus and panels
   - `browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser` — extends Mica into the new tab page (optional)
5. Go to `about:support` and click **Clear startup cache** to apply all styles.
6. Install the [Zen Internet](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zen-internet/) extension.

Additional visual tweaks are available as boolean keys in `about:config`. Full list in the [Firefox-WinUI docs](https://github.com/Lockframe/Firefox-WinUI#settings).

### DWMBlurGlass

Hooks into the Desktop Window Manager to apply Mica or Acrylic effects to all title bars globally.

1. Download from the [releases page](https://github.com/Maplespe/DWMBlurGlass/releases) and extract to a permanent location.
2. Run `DWMBlurGlass.exe` and click **Install**. If nothing happens, go to the **Symbols** tab, click **Download**, then try Install again.
3. Set effect to **Mica** and blur method to **CustomBlur**. Save to apply live.

> Only download from the official GitHub releases page. Impersonation campaigns distributing malware-bundled versions exist.

> Do not run alongside MicaForEveryone as both target the same DWM pipeline.

### ExplorerBlurMica

Applies Mica or Acrylic to File Explorer without modifying system files.

1. Download from the [releases page](https://github.com/Maplespe/ExplorerBlurMica/releases) and extract to a permanent location.
2. Right-click `register.cmd` and run as administrator. Explorer restarts automatically.
3. Edit `config.ini` to set your preferred effect (`2` = Mica, `1` = Acrylic, `0` = Blur) and reopen Explorer.

To uninstall, run `uninstall.cmd` as administrator.

### Windows Terminal

Open **Settings > Appearance** for your active profile. Enable **Use acrylic material** and set **Background opacity** to `30`.

### Cursor

1. Download and extract the [cursor pack](https://www.deviantart.com/jimmyxd2/art/1208233550).
2. Run `main.cpl` to open Mouse Properties, go to the **Pointers** tab, and apply the scheme. If a `.inf` file is included, right-click it and select **Install** instead.
