Author: ZoraizLajwer
To get translucent effects, you can use the Translucent Windows mod.

- Select an effect type option and save.
The theme is integrated into the mod and can be selected directly from the mod's settings:
- Open the Windows 11 File Explorer Styler mod in Windhawk.
- Go to the "Settings" tab.
- Select the theme and save the settings.
The theme styles can also be imported manually. To do that, follow these steps:
- Open the Windows 11 File Explorer Styler mod in Windhawk.
- Go to the "Settings" tab and select "Textual mode".
- Copy the content below to the text box and click "Save settings".
