[solved] Enabling Transparency for 'Older Mac'

[EverythingIsRed]

macOS Sierra on my laptop doesn't have the translucent dock or notification center like other devices. It's probably because of the older hardware.
Is there any way I can enable translucency?

Thanks! This also solved all of the other graphics and video related problems I was facing!

Use any kext installer such as Kext Wizard or KextBeast.
Or you can use Terminal (sudo cp -R).

Thank you! However there are lots of different FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext files. How do I know what one to install?
