Recommendation option for TranslucentStartMenu theme

[OhFruits]

Add an on & off option button for recommendation with the TranslucentStartMenu theme.

I cannot add a toggle button that does this, but what I can do is create a variant for you that combines translucent + no recommendations as a new theme. Or, I can teach you how to do yourself, which do you prefer?

Can you create a variation for me

[bbmaster123]

simply paste this into the mod settings box in the advanced tab:

{
  "theme": "TranslucentStartMenu",
  "controlStyles[0].target": "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid#ShowMoreSuggestions",
  "controlStyles[0].styles[0]": "Visibility=Collapsed",
  "controlStyles[1].target": "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid#SuggestionsParentContainer",
  "controlStyles[1].styles[0]": "Visibility=Collapsed",
  "controlStyles[2].target": "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid#TopLevelSuggestionsListHeader",
  "controlStyles[2].styles[0]": "Visibility=Collapsed",
  "controlStyles[3].target": "StartMenu.PinnedList",
  "controlStyles[3].styles[0]": "Height=504"
}

This code uses the translucent start theme as a base, and adds in the styles from the no recommendations theme.

Alternatively, you can use this code, which uses no recommendations theme as a base, and adds in the styles from translucent start theme. This would allow you to essentially make any of the built-in themes translucent just by changing the dropdown and clicking save:

to apply this to your search menu as well, you can add searchhost.exe and/or searchexperiencehost.exe to the inclusions list in the mod's advanced settings.

Let me know if you have any trouble! :)
