How can we add privacy do bathroom windows without losing natural ligh
We have a garden tub that we never use. Our shower is very small. We plan to remove the garden tub and replace it with a larger walk-in shower. Our problem is the 4’ x 4’ window that is over the garden tub and will be in the shower. We have checked, and found that especially at night you can see in the window if the light is on in the bathroom and a person is standing close to the frosted window. We want suggestions of how we can provide more privacy when we take a shower. This is holding up progress on the shower. We are both in our 70’s and are making this change to provide a safer environment to shower. Any suggestions on how we can get more privacy? This is the only window in our bathroom and we don’t want to lose the natural light.

How about hanging one of those pretty material shower curtains over the window? Pull it closed when you shower, pull it back when you're done. They dry quickly so little chance of mold. If there's tile around the window, you can use a spring curtain rod.
Or have installed a window blind on the window. I think there are some types that can be permanently fixed in a 'covered' position to fill the window and electronically controlled to open the slats and close them. Just close them in the evening or bath time!
I would frost the windows! Here's how to do that: https://www.charlestoncrafted.com/2016/07/18/diy-frosted-windows/
You may have to install a waterproof fabric drapery with a tie back, on a rod that can withstand water/humidity in the bath. You could make a Roman Shade, but the folds would not be suitable for damp area.
