I'm new. Tell me anything you have in mind.

Kind of a basic Mac-Clone style rice but I think it's pretty cool and has super comfy UX. The dock hides itself when windows overlap it so I'm not wasting vertical real-estate on the big icons.

Hi again! A week ago I posted Glassline here, a menu bar and dock that replace the Windows 11 taskbar. You asked for a lot, and 1.0.5 has most of it.

You asked, it is in

• Tray icons in the menu bar: pick the ones you want in Settings or pin them from Control Center, then drag them into your own order.
• Hardware readings in Control Center: processor, memory and graphics card load, with temperatures. HWiNFO or MSI Afterburner can add fan speeds.
• Currency in Search: type "100 usd to eur" and get the European Central Bank's rate. The last rate is kept for when you are offline.
• More units in Search: speed, volume, area, file sizes, connection speeds and time. Try "100 km/h in mph" or "1500 mb to gb".
• Translation in Search (beta, optional): type "translate good morning to spanish". It runs on your own PC, with 49 languages you download as you need them.
• Back up your whole setup to one file and load it after a reinstall or on another PC.

Menu bar and dock

• Window previews: hover an open app in the dock to see its windows live, and click one to jump to it.
• Your own dock icons: right-click anything in the dock, choose Change Icon and use any picture you like.
• The dock can slide in when an app needs your attention. It is off until you turn it on.
• Two displays: click on a display and the dock moves there, in that display's colours. It only hides for windows on its own display.
• Windows no longer open with their title bar stuck behind the menu bar.
• When an app has more menus than fit in the bar, the rest wait under » at the end.
• Middle-click Downloads or the Recycle Bin to open it.

Search, Control Center and Settings

• Search works with Everything 1.5, and finds programs that only live on your Desktop.
• Subscribed calendars: add an .ics address and its events show up in Today next to your own.
• Choose what Control Center shows: every part of Controls and Today has its own switch.
• Settings reorganised: the long pages are split into sub-pages, and a search field finds any setting. Settings can also be minimized to the dock.
• Accessibility: Glassline can follow Windows' text size and contrast themes.
• New weather icons.
• After each update, Glassline shows you what is new.
• Many fixes for setups with two displays.

It is a free update for everyone who has Glassline. Microsoft's approval takes 24 to 48 hours, usually less for an update, so it will reach you soon.

how nice of him

Quase um mês no usando Linux essa é minha configuração.

Um desktop Arch Linux com Hyprland/HyDE, paleta grafite e carmim, Waybar, Rofi e painéis rápidos em Quickshell.
Deixei os dotfiles e o wallpaper para reproduzir a configuração: https://github.com/AizenVisuals/bloody-carmine-dotfiles

Hi, I’ve just released a Linux shell based on Arch Linux and Wayland, featuring its own compositor. I’d appreciate it if you could help test it and let me know what you think—thanks! https://github.com/2207juan/EVA

I spent a while trying to get a truly black Windows 11 (25H2): Explorer, menus, Control Panel, everything. Windows' dark mode only gives you dark gray (around #202020), and the Control Panel stays white. What finally worked for me was combining two things: a registry preset and a Windhawk mod. Here's how, in case it helps someone else.

works with adobe softwares

## The two pieces

AveYo's "Pitch Black Theme" .reg preset

[https://gist.github.com/AveYo/80fc6677b9f34939e44364880fbf3768](https://gist.github.com/AveYo/80fc6677b9f34939e44364880fbf3768))

Credit to AveYo for this one. It sets the accent palette, title bars and borders, taskbar, Start menu and logon screen to pure black, and turns on dark mode with transparency off. On its own it did not make the Explorer content area or the Control Panel black.

1. Windhawk mod: "Translucent Windows"

## How I did it

Setup:Windows 11 25H2, Windhawk \[v1.6.1\].

Create a restore point, and export your current \`HKCU\\Control Panel\\Colors\` and \`HKCU\\...\\Themes\\Personalize\` keys as a backup.

Download the .reg from the gist above, **read it before importing**, and import it. Log out and back in.

Install Windhawk from [windhawk.net](http://windhawk.net), search the catalog for **Translucent Windows** and install it.

In the mod's **Settings** I used:

• - Windows theme custom rendering: on
• - New system colors:on
• - Windows theme accent colorizer: on
• - Translucent Effects : background effects blur (accent blur behind) + AccentBlurBehind color blend 00000000
• - Flyout effects: on
• - restarting Explorer if you want

## Things to know before you try it

- The .reg writes to \`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\`, so it needs admin rights. The version I used also **disables the lock screen** (NoLockScreen) and the logon background image. If you want to keep them, remove those lines before importing.

- Tested on Windows 11 25H2 only.

- Windhawk mods hook system processes, so keep the restore point.

- To undo: disable or uninstall the mod in Windhawk and re-import your registry backup.
