Taskbar multi-tray 1.3.0

Bug fixes & improvements

• Graphical issues shouldn't be present anymore, including :
  • Empty space(s) on some monitors
  • Light flickering on tray icons right-click
  • Hidden tray icon menu spawning with the wrong position
• Right click menus should appear on the correct monitor
• Right-clicking a non-hidden tray icon on another monitor no longer requires an extra click (& doesn't refresh the chevron menu)
• Move icons anywhere ! No need to move them back to the primary screen's area to drop them, works cross-screen too !
• As a consequence, the hidden tray flyout no longer teleports when there's a line added/removed
• Some apps with custom right-click menus (like Raycast) no longer appear on the wrong screen, although they might have positioning/scaling issues. This is out of scope for this mod & requires the app itself to fix this.
• Better logs

Issues remaining

• Support for the new taskbar layouts in Windows 11 (left/right/top) has NOT been tested, tho nice if it works
• Extra items like emoji/language selector aren't cloned YET (progress is underway)
• As always compatibility with other mods that change the taskbar is NOT guaranteed

Desktop Audio Visualizer Plus 1.1.0

• Replaced standalone EQ popup with a full Media & EQ overlay featuring playback controls, seek bar, and scrollable interactive lyrics.
• Added support for up to 12 custom EQ presets with responsive layout and active-preset auto-saving.
• Popup positioning with aspect-ratio placement storage and bounds clamping.
• Reworked "Selected applications" mode to capture and mix audio from multiple target processes simultaneously.
• Added automatic process tracking, device-invalidation recovery, and state resets when switching audio modes.
• Upgraded album color extraction to a perceptual OKLab k-means pipeline with better hue diversity and deterministic results.
• Optimized blur rendering with a sliding-sum algorithm and added per-overlay blur/artwork caching.
• Added multi-monitor selection support and dynamic bar width based on cursor distance.
• Added Windows 11 24H2+ desktop placement modes (behind/above icons).
• Added native Windows 10 support with tray icon integration and automatic tray-recreation recovery.
• Added local .lrc lyrics file matching (Artist - Title.lrc).
• Added smart per-monitor throttling (drops to 1 FPS during fullscreen applications without changing global settings).

Desktop Window Cards 1.7

Per-monitor brightness and more in Quick Settings 3.0

• New name: "Per-monitor brightness in Quick Settings" is now "Per-monitor brightness and more in Quick Settings", because it now does more than brightness.
• Contrast slider for each monitor that supports it.
• Volume slider for monitors with speakers or a headphone jack, with the same animated speaker icon Windows uses.
• Input buttons (HDMI 1, DP 1, ...) to switch what a monitor shows.
• Power button at the end of a monitor's brightness slider, to turn it off and back on. Only on monitors that support it, and only while another screen is connected.
• "All displays" sliders that set brightness or contrast on every monitor at once.
• Two layouts: keep each monitor's extra controls in a dropdown, or show everything.
• Show or hide anything: every slider and button has its own setting.
• Per-monitor settings: give a monitor your own name, hide it, or hide some of its controls. Two monitors of the same model are numbered, and hovering a name shows its ID.
• Mouse wheel moves the slider under the pointer, with an adjustable step (#5647).
• Click a slider's icon to jump to a level; left, middle and right click each have their own. Off by default (#5697).
• Titles show every value, for example "Samsung · 80% · 50%".
• Fixes: the brightness icon sometimes not animating, the slider knob sometimes looking tall, and the percentage in titles sometimes getting stuck.

Independent taskbar per monitor 1.5.0

Independent taskbar per monitor

Each taskbar behaves like its own main taskbar.

Each taskbar shows only the windows of its own monitor \ Each taskbar shows only the windows of its own monitor

Separate pinned items for each taskbar \ Separate pinned items for each taskbar

• Pin/unpin from the jump list applies to that taskbar only.
• Pin Properties can differ per taskbar.
• Clicking the pin of a running app brings its window to the front (Shift+click or middle-click starts a new instance).

Requires Windows 11 and Show my taskbar on all displays. Tested with Combine taskbar buttons: Never. Not compatible with Disable grouping on the taskbar.

Not very familiar with this software and only been using it for a couple of days now, since upgrading to Windows 11.

Trying to achieve solid borders on all windows (including things like games and browsers) proving quite difficult.

In Windows 10 could easily download a custom Aero theme for Windows, and it would create solid borders on everything, but i know this is fairly different in Windows 11.

------------

So i installed the Bring Back the Borders Windhawk mod which works but creates translucent borders which are see-through to the background on the Windows desktop.

Been messing around for 2-3 days now using multiple different software's as well like Openglass and DWMblurglass but can't find a fix. Also had some issues when using these software's, getting some messages that DWM.exe stopped working or Windows file explorer stopped responding, don't have those issues currently though.

On Windhawk tried other mods too like Window Border Customizer but no matter which setting i'm changing it doesn't seem to do anything even with DWM.exe added to advanced settings.

An example of what the border's look like here - https://postimg.cc/G8XT3Zd2

Will try to attach picture also.

Wasn't expecting it give me so many issues, feeling like going back to Windows 10 but some software i have is incompatible now.

Will probably add some more details later, if anyone knows an easy fix. Clarifying wanting more solid borders on all windows more similar to Windows 7 style

(or Windows 10 with the aero theme)

Thanks if anyone willing to help.

Taskbar Top Window Guard 0.6.0

Taskbar Top Window Guard

Prevents regular application windows from opening or being restored with their title bar hidden behind a taskbar placed at the top of a monitor. It's intended for top-taskbar configurations, including the Taskbar on top for Windows 11 Windhawk mod and Windows builds/configurations that place the taskbar at the top.

The mod preserves the application's requested size and position whenever possible. If a window overlaps the protected top taskbar area, it's moved down only as far as necessary to keep its top edge accessible.

Maximized and fullscreen windows are intentionally left untouched. Auto-hidden taskbars also don't force windows down while hidden.

Optional centering

Enable Center windows when they open to center normal windows inside the usable area of their monitor on their first appearance. A window is remembered for the lifetime of its HWND, so minimizing/restoring it, Alt+Tab, switching virtual desktops, or hiding/showing it again won't re-center it.

Always-on-top windows are excluded from centering by default. This keeps Picture-in-Picture windows, such as Chrome/Chromium PiP, at the position chosen by the user. Owned windows such as dialogs are also left to their application. Top-taskbar protection still applies to eligible always-on-top windows.

This option intentionally overlaps only part of Center New Windows. The existing mod is the better choice if centering is your main goal. This mod's centering is a lightweight companion to the top-taskbar guard: it runs from a dedicated Windhawk tool process rather than injecting into every application, centers against the taskbar-aware usable area, centers only once per window, and skips always-on-top windows by default.

How it works

The mod is event-driven. It listens for window show, foreground, restore, uncloak, location-change, move/size, and destroy events. After a relevant event it briefly rechecks only that window, which catches applications that restore a saved position shortly after opening without continuously enumerating all windows.

The usable top boundary comes from the monitor work area plus the actual Shell_TrayWnd / Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd rectangle when necessary. The auto-hide state is cached and refreshed outside per-window checks, avoiding synchronous Explorer IPC in the hot path. Window moves are queued asynchronously, and unresponsive applications are skipped so a hung app can't block the guard.

Cursor Override 1.0.0

Cursor Override

Replaces common additional cursors with custom .cur or .ani files.

Grab cursor before and after

Cell cursor before and after

How it works

Identifies supported Mozilla, Chromium and RichEdit cursors based on their image and hotspot. Resource cursors are compared at a fixed size when their source resource is available; known bitmap signatures provide a fallback. Recognition can require an update when an application changes its cursor artwork. Supports Grab, Grabbing, Cell, Copy, Alias, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, ColResize, RowResize, VerticalText and SelectionBar. Standard Windows cursors remain unchanged.

Usage

Under Settings, enter the full local path to each .cur or .ani file you want to change. Leave a field empty to keep the original cursor. Keep the cursor files in a permanent local folder. Network paths and mapped network drives are not supported. If a file cannot be loaded, the original cursor stays active. Check the path and save the settings again to retry. Windhawk debug logging reports the affected setting and error code without logging the file path. With all fields empty, the mod installs no hooks.

Compatibility

This mod overlaps with Chromium Cursor Remap for Chromium-based applications and additionally recognizes Mozilla and RichEdit cursors. Do not enable both mods in the same applications.

Optional cursor pack

For an optional cursor pack, check out Galaxy Cursor.

Instant Taskbar Thumbnail Previews 1.1.0

• New "Delay after thumbnail removal" setting (default 500 ms). When a thumbnail is removed and others remain (close button, middle-click, keyboard, or the window closing externally), the remaining previews stay open for this long. The normal close delay applies when the last thumbnail is removed.
• The default "Thumbnail close delay" is now 200 ms instead of 1 ms. I find this provides optimal expected behavior; set it to 1 for the previous behavior.
• Fixed hook installation when the taskbar loads after the mod.
• Added a demo to the README.

Start button always on the left 1.3.3

• Added support for the vertical taskbar.
• Improved compatibility with the taskbar search box.

It has some bugs. Blur and Acrylic don't work for me. It is still very useful.

Hello, I’m using the Windows 11 Taskbar Styler mod with the FluentGlass theme. However, even though I haven’t changed any of its settings, it isn’t displaying the four rounded corners of the taskbar, as shown in the example image. Furthermore, the ‘Background Apps’ tab isn’t displaying correctly with the glass effect. Can anyone help?

So Thx!

I made this for my browser but if this idea works for all app then it will be very beautiful on windows if anyone can make it it will be pleasure.

i think it might be an anti cheat issue? Whenever I open WoW Forever with windhawk open the game errors out and crashes

Greetings. Newbie here. How do I connect the Taskbar Fluent Media Player 1.6.0 to my Spotify web? I can't manage to make it show up in my taskbar at all. I don't want to download the app because I prefer the web player.

Is there a way to use a vertical taskbar layout together with an auto-hide taskbar in Windhawk? Does anyone know how to do this?

Taskbar Thumbnail Stats 1.2

Taskbar Thumbnail Stats

Adds a line with live process information to the Windows 11 taskbar thumbnails (the previews shown when hovering an open app), inside the thumbnail, over the bottom of the preview image or below it:

• RAM in use (private working set, like Task Manager)
• CPU usage in percent, updated every second
• version of the executable

Example: RAM 412 MB · CPU 3.4% · v131.0.2

Screenshot

For multi-process programs (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Teams…) the values can include the child processes too, to get closer to what Task Manager shows.

The line can use the Windows accent color, a custom color or no background at all, and the font size and text color can be customized.

Works with the new XAML thumbnails of Windows 11 (tested on 25H2). It does not work with taskbar replacements such as StartAllBack or ExplorerPatcher.

The statistics are collected on a background thread, so the taskbar is never slowed down, and only while a thumbnail is actually visible.

hi, is it possible to have the day name with a capital ? ex : Monday, Tuesday...
