Thanks for the tip. Though it looks awesome, the transparency it gives is too much.
Really interesting tip. Thanks for sharing.
That is NO glass effect , it makes the windows just transparent …. lame
that’s true, everyone should stop advertize it as Glass effect. Plus, it looks bizarre , doesn’t work at all.
