REAL-TIME VISUAL STYLING

Restyle your games,
apps and entire screen.

StyleLens lets you transform the final image of applications in real time. Apply ready-made looks, build your own styles visually with the Effect Graph, or write custom HLSL when you need full control.

Wishlist on Steam

APPLY

Use styles instantly on a target application or the entire display.

BUILD

Create your own looks visually with the Effect Graph.

CODE & SHARE

Write custom HLSL and share safe graph-based styles through Workshop.

WHY STYLELENS

A simple way to make familiar content feel new.

StyleLens focuses on the final image. That means you can experiment with very different visual directions without changing the underlying application. Use it when you want a subtle mood shift, a bold stylized presentation or a fully custom look built around your own taste.

01

Wide range of styles

Explore dramatically different looks, from subtle grading to striking stylization.

02

Accessible and advanced

Start with existing styles, build visually, or go deeper with direct HLSL editing.

03

Community-driven

Share graph-based creations through the Steam Workshop and discover styles built by others.

One world. Completely different atmospheres.

See how strongly a familiar scene can change when a different style is applied.

EFFECT GRAPH

Build your own style visually.

The Effect Graph is the easiest way to move from idea to custom result. Combine predefined effects, tweak parameters and build reusable graph-based shaders without writing HLSL yourself.

  • Visual node-based workflow
  • Reusable custom styles
  • No direct code required
  • Steam Workshop-compatible graph creations

PLACEHOLDER

EFFECT GRAPH SCREENSHOT

Replace this placeholder with your real Effect Graph image.

Tip: a clean screenshot of the graph editor will make this section much stronger than an abstract illustration.

From subtle adjustments to a new identity.

StyleLens is flexible enough for many genres, moods and visual directions.

HLSL CODE EDITOR

Go further with direct shader code.

For advanced users, StyleLens includes its own HLSL code editor. Write custom shaders directly and apply them through the same StyleLens workflow.

Workshop sharing is intentionally limited to graph-based creations, keeping community content in a more controlled and safer format.

STEAM WORKSHOP

Discover and share graph-based styles.

The Workshop makes StyleLens more than a standalone tool. Browse community creations, download new styles and publish your own graph-based looks for other users.

Browse

Find new styles and experiment with ideas created by the community.

Download

Expand your collection without having to build every style from scratch.

Share

Publish your own Effect Graph creations and contribute to the ecosystem.

Workshop uploads are limited to Effect Graph creations. Direct HLSL remains local, which helps keep shared content more controlled and easier to validate.

One tool. Very different visual directions.

Cinematic, colorful, stylized, dramatic or experimental — build the look you want to see.

HOW YOU CAN USE IT

Start simple, then go deeper.

APPLY

Use existing styles


Pick a style and use it immediately. This is the fastest way to change the feel of what you are seeing.

BUILD

Create with the Effect Graph

Combine predefined effects visually and turn your ideas into a reusable graph-based shader.

CODE

Write custom HLSL


Use the integrated editor when you want fine-grained control and a fully custom shader implementation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know HLSL to use StyleLens?

No. You can start with existing styles or create your own visually with the Effect Graph. The HLSL editor is there if you want deeper control.

Can StyleLens affect only one application?

Yes. StyleLens can target individual applications, and it can also be used across the entire display.

What can be uploaded to the Steam Workshop?

Workshop sharing is intended for graph-based creations built with the Effect Graph.

Why can’t freely written HLSL be uploaded to the Workshop?

Direct shader code provides far more freedom and is harder to keep within predictable boundaries. Keeping Workshop uploads limited to graph-based content makes community sharing more controlled and easier to validate.

Is StyleLens limited to games?

No. While games are a strong showcase for visual styles, StyleLens is designed around styling applications in general.
