Clothes Toggler
Clothes Toggler opens an F1 mesh menu for hiding or showing parts of the active avatar and remembers the selected state. It also claims support for custom avatars, but its release predates major Desktop Mate modding changes.

WHAT IT DOES
Clothes Toggler features
This small MelonLoader DLL enumerates meshes on the active character and presents toggle buttons. It can be useful for models intentionally designed with optional layers; it is not a license to remove or redistribute protected character assets. Because it operates on mesh names, results vary by avatar and some toggles can hide unexpected geometry.
- F1 menu listing detected avatar meshes.
- Per-mesh visibility toggles.
- Saved state when changing avatars or relaunching.
- Author-provided preview demonstrating the actual menu.
How to install Clothes Toggler
- Back up Desktop Mate and confirm you are using a compatible legacy build.
- Install MelonLoader 0.6.6 and .NET Desktop Runtime 6 x64 from their publishers.
- Download MeshToggler.dll from the original GitHub release asset.
- Move the DLL into Desktop Mate's MelonLoader Mods folder.
- Start Desktop Mate and allow extra time on the first IL2CPP setup.
How to use it
- Press F1 after the companion is visible.
- Toggle one mesh at a time so you can identify what changed.
- Restore required meshes before switching models if the saved state causes visual issues.
Desktop Mate compatibility
The last release was January 2025 and no current Desktop Mate support statement is published. Custom models expose different mesh names, so the menu and saved state are model-dependent.
How to remove the mod
Close Desktop Mate, delete MeshToggler.dll from the Mods folder, and remove its preference file from UserData/MelonPreferences if you want to reset saved visibility choices.
Troubleshooting
- F1 menu missing: verify MelonLoader loaded the DLL and that no other mod uses the same shortcut.
- Buttons do nothing: the active avatar may use a hierarchy the mod does not recognize.
- Character parts stay hidden: remove the mod preference entry, then relaunch with a clean configuration.
Clothes Toggler FAQ
Does Clothes Toggler work with custom avatars?
The author says it does, but exact results depend on how each avatar's meshes are named and structured.
Why does the browser warn about the DLL?
Unsigned, low-download DLLs often trigger reputation warnings. Do not bypass a warning blindly; verify the GitHub repository and scan the file.
Is this compatible with current Desktop Mate?
Current compatibility is unverified. The release targets the early MelonLoader modding setup.

Custom Avatar Loader
Custom Avatar Loader is the best-known community mod for loading VRM 0.x character files into legacy Desktop Mate builds. Its original repository was archived on December 4, 2025, so current Steam compatibility should not be assumed.
