How to Enable Transparency Effects on your Windows Antlets

Hello!

While working with my Windows antlets, I had noticed that the transparency effects seem to have been disabled.  I had noticed the difference in working with some of my Windows physical PC's running Windows 11 with full transparency effeects.

While looking into this issue, I came across an article from TheWindowsClub going over this very topic below:
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/transparency-effects-not-working-in-windows

I looked into Change Registry Settings section and made change below:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm

Right-click on any empty space, and select DWORD (32-bit) Value. Now, name it “ForceEffectMode”, and set the Value data to 2.

You will need to restart your antlet for changes to take place, but after that the transparency effects were enabled!  I have tested with Win11StdGui and Win10StdGui templates.  See sample screenshots below.

Thank you,
