I have 2 accounts, one is administrator, and other one is not. I'll call this Guest

Windhawk and its mods are launched always as Administrator or SYSTEM (although no UAC prompt) and when I logged on those 2 accounts, the mods in Guest still work baed on Administrator

e.g. Taskbar Styler works as Dark Mode, but guest is Light Mode

Can I get the portable or current user only-Windhawk? I want to run 2 parallel instances or mods—I want the latter more—in diffrent accounts/privileges

+another best option is prevent running on Guest and let running only in 1 account. on or in anyways idk whichs correct sry for my english

mods in Guest still work baed on Administrator

Mods aren't launched. Mods are injected into processes. If a process runs as administrator, the mod code which runs inside it runs as administrator.

e.g. Taskbar Styler works as Dark Mode, but guest is Light Mode

The Taskbar Styler that's injected into the explorer.exe instance of Guest runs in Guest's environment, and if the theme isn't adjusted properly, it means that something's wrong with the style, or that the style is just designed for dark mode.

It's not clear what exactly you want. If you want different users to have different mods, or different configurations of mods, then the standard Windhawk installation doesn't support that, and you can try the portable version. If you want the styler mod to adjust to the theme, you need to improve your style definitions.

Maybe the mod follows the first logged on account because previous explorer is still running so still hooked by the mod
Perhaps if I log on guest - administrator order the Taskbar Styler'll works as Light Mode in administrator account I'll test it

Each mod is independent, mods don't communicate with one another. But sure, test it and post back.
