Dark Window
by nefanizzz1
Dark Window darkens the title bar of the Minecraft game window, replacing the default bright background with a dark one on Fabric for 1.21.1.
What it does
A player who plays late or streams at night can switch the window to a dark background, which reduces glare from the bright default frame. The change only affects the appearance of the window and leaves gameplay and in-game graphics untouched. Dark Window is client-side only, so the server and other players do not need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
