I just found a way to get this feature back without using WindowBlinds, I mean WindowBloats themes in case anyone would be interested.
I found this portable program called "Unglass", it says it was made specifically for Windows 7, but it actually does still work on Windows 10 (I'm using 1809 with a Windows 7 theme in the screenshot), which is useful if you're going for a more accurate Vista look. It probably also does work on Windows 8.X and 11
Here's where you can get it from: ystr.github.io/unglass/
I've only tested the old version (OldUnglass.zip, I did test the new one later, and that one doesn't work on my end) because from the looks of it, it looked like it was gonna be more likely to work on Windows 10...
It even makes the taskbar opaque if you're using StartIsBack++. (Probably) Unlike the new version, it does keep Glass8's reflection texture when maximizing.
