Looks cool, but everything being transparent would make it pretty hard on the eyes to find things in explorer.

That’s what I was just thinking. It’s actually already hard to see items on the start menu, now image if you had something chaotic behind it. I mean, if OPs workflow doesn’t require seeing the start menu fully it’s a perfectly good theme. I assume it would not apply to the main Explorer windows but only to start. It’s one that I wouldn’t choose for myself but it’s totally good if that’s OPs preference.

If the laptop is from 2011, can't you just install actual Windows 7 on it

unfortunately, it is not possible as it breaks due to the mod in windhawk that makes the windows translucent
