After learning from others how to find the hex codes and ColorizationBalance values for the default CPL colour presets for Aero-supporting Windows versions, I was inspired by Vruh's initial release of Windows 7's values to collect all the presets for all Aero versions of Windows from Windows Vista beta 2 build 5370 all the way up to Windows 8.1 (even though 8.1 doesn't support Aero natively, its ColorizationBalance values change depending on whether you're using a default colour or the Automatic option). I then converted the values into config files to use with DWMBlurGlass 2.2. I put together all the config files, as well as the text files where I documented the original data, into the zip file below for you to enjoy. I had initially posted this in a Discussion thread on the DWMBG github page, but I realised it would be helpful to share it here too!
I added some bonus configs that contain alternate versions of Vista beta 2 and RTM's configs if they had existed in Windows 7 as well!
IMPORTANT NOTES: To get the accurate Vista look, you need to use Vruh's fork of 2.2, which makes the Blur option in the Advanced page use Vista's blur, as the original 2.2 uses multiply blend instead of Vista's shader. Here's where to download it github.com/Maplespe/DWMBlurGlass/files/15210341/427.zip
Here's the config pack (note that these are designed to work best on Windows 10. You will have to change some settings to make them fit better on 11):
Let me know in the replies if anything about the config folders is unclear as to what they are for, or any other confusion, and I'll update this post accordingly!
Enjoy!
