Transform Windows 11.
Your Way.
Design custom Taskbars, Start Menus, and accent palettes in your browser, or install hand-crafted community themes with one click — no coding or system file patching required.
How It Works & Prerequisites
Windows 11 renders its shell via WinUI 3. We use the free, open-source Windhawk engine to safely inject translucent acrylic materials and accent brushes in memory without modifying a single system DLL.
Install Windhawk Engine
Windhawk is a lightweight open-source system customization platform that allows mods to inject UI styling safely into Explorer.
