EDIT: fixed with the help of Hellbovine 's work on this, modifing his reg file and adding if to the registry files section of ntlite.
My custom reg file
VISUALFX_FER.REG



Hi community!
Hope you can help me with this issue:
I want to add these registry entries to customize effects/visuals parameters. Tried adding them to the registry section of NTlite, and also at the end In the Post Set-Up Section (both as machine and user entries, separately)

Working on WIN 10 LTSC 21H1 X64
These are the entries:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects]
"VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000003
  
; Do not Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"MinAnimate"="0"
  
; Show window contents while dragging
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"DragFullWindows"="1"

; Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
  
;Enable Peek
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
"EnableAeroPeek"=dword:0

;Save taskbar thumbnail previews
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
"AlwaysHibernateThumbnails"=dword:0

; Animations in the taskbar
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"TaskbarAnimations"=dword:0

;Show thumbnails instead of icons
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"IconsOnly"=dword:0

;Show translucent selection rectangle
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ListviewAlphaSelect"=dword:0

; Drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ListviewShadow"="1"

; Setting for various visual effects
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"UserPreferencesMask"=hex:90,32,03,80,10,00,00,00

Trying to get these results:

But instead i get these:
20230324_135839.jpg



(Changes does not apply even after restarting or logging off)
If i merge the registry file manually after the installation, it works just fine.
I added other settings with registry files, using the Registry section and they work .
