Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I can not reproduce your issue on my system. Force Glass explorer work on my system refer screenshot below. Need to know few things from your system.

  1. Windows 10 v22H2 OS build number. Please use Winver.exe to get these number.
  2. Curtains full version number.
  3. If you apply Cairo Dark, does the transparent explorer appear?

Thank you.

Yes, that is possible, please try uninstall it and reboot and retest. Any other application that change something your Windows Explorer work might also conflict.
