A theme inspired by Zee-Al-Eid Ahmad's concepts.
Author: Lockframe
The theme is integrated into the mod and can be selected directly from the mod's settings:
- Open the Windows 11 Start Menu 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 Start Menu 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".
A variant for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu that is slowly rolling out in the 25H2 update.
