Since 32bit "Hook" is incompatible with V11, I've been experimenting with ways to improve the appearance of V11 using available 3rd Party graphic mods. You are HIGHLY encouraged to experiment with the settings, but I keep coming back to the included settings for best overall performance & appearance.)
Using a combination of "ReShade 5.x" (vastly improved over earlier versions) and "DxVk" (the free DirectX to Vulkan translator [included]), you can noticeably improve the appearance of V11. Note: "Vulkan" is the the Open Source alternative to DirectX 12 maintained by nVidia, AMD and Apple.) Sample screenshots below:

Full instructions included.
Don't be put off by the fact V11 is still using 20 year old "DirectX 9". Using "DxVk"... the Vulkan interpreter... it's possible to reproduce DX10/11/12 quality graphics.
(NOTE: ReShade affects ALL graphics including menus, so don't be thrown by poorly colored menus & text.)
