Translucent Explorer11 isn't working

[braunie143]

I have Windows 11 Build 26120.5733.
The Translucent Explorer11 setting has no impact on the appearance of the explorer.
Other mods for Start Menu, Taskbar and Notification Center are working well.

It's designed to be used together with the Translucent Windows mod, please refer to the theme readme:

Maybe @Undisputed00x, the author of the theme, can help.

I tried this, but this is the result:

Translucent Explorer11 is actually meant to work with mods like Translucent Windows which make the window title bar translucent as the parts it modifies become transparent so the background effects are visible and blend into the entire window.
Your window has a blue title bar, so modern explorer's address bar and command bar are also the same color.

But what can I do to achieve this effect?

Use a mod that makes the titlebar translucent, You can use the Translucent Windows mod for example.

Yeah, you have to use both mods, but I find bright backgrounds will impact usability. I likely wont stick with this. It'd be fine if youre using dark backgrounds, but I have 3000 wallpapers on slideshow.

Steps to get it fully transparent.

And this is for Transluscent Windows mod:

If you're using AccentBlur like you do in the picture, you can customize the background tint color of the effect. Use 25323232 for example to add a slight dark tint

Yeah Im messing with that but no color option seems to darken things enough for me.

Acrylic looks fantastic in all conditions but it goes to solid grey when the window isnt in focus. How can I make it stay acrylic at all times? That would be ideal.

That happens by default with the SystemBackdrop effects, probably will have to touch the inside private APIs to change that, will do in a future update.

Make sure you use the AccentBlur effect option for the tint color to create an effect.

When cursor pointer hover over the preview in the taskbar, the window background becomes transparent. Who this fix?

Hey @Undisputed00x there's a bug with your mod and rainmeter, when mod enabled this happening:

when rainmeter in mod's exclusion list it's broking everything...

and this is how windowspy normally looking...

Settings I take from MessiahMozgus screenshots... nothing added or changed... and I use your mod with file explorer styling instead of ExplorerBlurMica cuz it's sometimes broke and explorer title bar become full black and to fix it, I need to start bat file once more which are annoying since this happening almost everytime if explorer restarts(also sorry for bad english and grammar)...
