im pretty sure there was a way to do this on the main branch but iirc it required awm stuff? i cant really remember
but itd be nice to seperate the opacity for active and inactive windows to get something more akin to windows vista colorization...

The best and most accurate way to do this with Windows Vista colorization is setting your AccentColorInactive registry key first hexadecimal values from FF to 80. Vista will, by default, half the color opacity when a window is inactive. This is the exact same method.

For example, I am using the "Frost" color from Windows Vista. Your registry keys should look like this:
AccentColor: 0xfff7f7ef
AccentColorInactive: 0x80f7f7ef

And your result will look like this, cycling between Registry Editor and Notepad:

Demo 2

And another color, Vista's default blue as another demonstration picture:

oh ty for letting me know about this!! i guess my new issue is that this doesnt work on the legacy branch sadly

I think you will need to use AeroGlassGUI for modifications when using the legacy branch. From what I understand, AeroGlassGUI works fine for legacy since it is basically Glass8 revived, but the GUI application does not seem to play nicely with the newer branch - hence why registry editing is a requirement.
