Turn off transparency

Optional

Removes the frosted glass effect from the taskbar, Start menu and windows.

Expected effect

Slightly relieves the graphics card on very weak PCs. No difference on modern ones.

Appearance only.

Registry key	Value	Type	New value

How to undo it

Before a change NyxBoost saves the previous values; "Revert" brings them back and removes those that did not exist before.

In NyxBoost: Recovery → “Revert” next to this setting's entry.
Without the program: open the Registry Editor (regedit), go to the key from the table and put back the previous value — NyxBoost records it in its change history.

How NyxBoost checks the result

After applying, NyxBoost reads the values again and compares them with the expected ones. To see the real effect on your PC, use FPS Lab: it measures the same game before and after.
