# TranslucentSM

A lightweight utility that makes the Windows Start Menu translucent/transparent.


This app utilizes XAML Diagnostics to inject a dll into a process and modifies the XAML.

> [!NOTE]

> This project will be inactive for a while. I'm currently busy.

# Settings

For now it uses registry to store the values. You can find them at ```HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\TranslucentSM```. 


There are two features currently. All values must be between 1 and 9.


**After you change the settings, you must terminate StartMenuExperienceHost.exe and relaunch the app.**
