hey guys, I'm deep into the Google ecosystem, is there a way to bring Material You to Windows 11 and make the UI looks a bit more like Chromebook?
I know this probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but if you just care about having the colors match the wallpaper like what Material You does, then AccentColorizer may work for you.

Use accent color in glyphs like AccentColorizer-E11?
I came here to see if the nilesoft dev might consider using windows accent color to color the glyphs in shell similar to AccentColorizer-E11 I realized that people who appreciate shell might also appreciate AccentColorizer too.

Notepad++ Now Works Better on Windows 11
Microsoft could have gone this route for adding Acrylic/Mica to the context menu, but no, in classic fashion they had to overdo something new and half-ass it at the same time.

Super slow & laggy context menu (Windows 11 22H2)
You can still restore the old context menu via registry hack, and if you want to keep the acrylic aesthetic you can use acrylic menus, startallback (paid but has a 100 day free trial and it has many many other features) and Nilesoft Shell (it requires you to read the documentation to customize it though, so not that user friendly but it looks the best out of the three imo)
