For macOS we have vibrancy like windows/parts.
Is there a way to do this for Windows 10 too? Ive seen some apps doing this.

Vibrancy for what?
Like when you enter a bad password and the text field jiggles?
Vibrancy is the name of the translucent effect found though out macOS. Think source lists, like the favorites sidebar in Finder.
I did not think it was available as a system component in Windows (would love it to be!) and assume that the examples Christoph has seen are custom implementations.
Edit: Tried to explain vibrancy/translucency a little better.
Ah, ok, thank you; I didn’t know the name of this effect (and google translate didn’t helped, translating vibrancy way otherwise).

Yes, Mac OS uses those transparency effects more than one might expect

Thanks for explaining this a little more Tim. Being a Windows guy and unfamiliar with Mac, I still have no understanding what ‘vibrancy’ is.

this is an old one ! ;)[/quote]
Thank you Jean-Yves! As they say, a picture (or video) is worth a thousand words 
Now I understand.
Well the Windows name escapes me right now but there was a WinAPI that shook the window

Are you sure of that?
It’s exactly what I said with the text field jiggling when you enter an invalid password, some posts ago (albeit, in your old example, the whole window was jiggling; these days, that’s mostly the field alone) and Tim said I was wrong (but google translate made me think like you, at first)
I believe I’m remembering the Aero Shake
Windows friends,
This is vibrancy

Except, it’s a heck of a lot more than just a translucency effect. There’s a bunch of color science Apple baked in to the macOS native effect.
So Mac Vibrancy is equivalent of Windows Aero?
Not really. It’s super over engineered immersion with a bunch of color science. It does more than just blur the colors it’s over. It’s great. Aero is not 
10-4 @Tim Parnell
Well, not only, as I use 90% Macs and didn’t know about that term; I’m not quite a Windows friend :-). .
We are all Friends here 
Undoubtedly, and I’m glad of that.
English being not my native language, I linked Windows and friends together, thinking Tim talked about Friends of Windows, not Friends, about Windows:.
Here is a really oversimplified version. If someone knows the API then I can look at getting it to work on Windows.
[code]Public Sub Vibrate(Win as Window, Optional Amplitude as Integer = 5)
Dim OriginalLocation as Integer
OriginalLocation = Win.Left
For i as Integer = 0 to 9
Var rnd as Integer = System.Random.InRange(-1,1)
Win.Left = OriginalLocation + (Rndi Amplitude)
Var old as double = microseconds
Do until old + 30000 <= Microseconds //30 milliseconds
Loop
Next
win.Left = OriginalLocation
End Sub
[/code]
Here is how I called it:
Sub Action() Handles Action
Vibrate(Window1)
End Sub

Jean-Yves was wrong, Tim already explaned a bunch of times that Vibrancy has nothing to do with Vibrate (moving) a window.
Sorry for the bandwidth
