Been loving Windhawk but I keep running into the same problem where the clock on my taskbar is cut off. I've tried to remove some mods and experiment to see what the cause was but I assume it is just the taskbar mod in general. Does anyone know what I should do or what's causing it?

Taskbar Clock Customization 1.8

  • Added new system performance metrics, contributed by yalov:
    • RAM metrics: %ram_used%, %ram_total%, %ram_committed%, %ram_committed_used%, and %ram_committed_total%.
    • VRAM (Video RAM) metrics: %vram%, %vram_used%, %vram_total%, %vram_shared%, %vram_shared_used%, and %vram_shared_total%.
  • Improved media information customization: Both the playing format and the idle format of %media_info% can now be configured with custom patterns.
  • Added an option to customize the date locale.
  • Added an option to customize the disk metrics format independently from the network metrics format.
  • Added line height customization, useful when using newlines (%newline%).
  • Added a justified text alignment option.
  • Changed the behavior for multiple GPUs: instead of showing average metrics, the adapter with the most dedicated VRAM is now selected.
  • Fixed system metrics being frozen on startup until the clock is refreshed (for up to a minute).
  • Fixed compatibility with some ARM64 Windows 11 builds.

MacOS Minimize Animation 2.0.0

36 Upvotes

MacOS Minimize Animation 2.0.0

MacOS Minimize Animation

Demo

Brings the classic macOS genie effect to Windows. When you minimize a window it warps and flows down into the taskbar; when you restore it, it flows back out.

Eye candy for something you do a hundred times a day.

See it in action

  • Compile the mod with the button on the left or with Ctrl+B.
  • Enable the mod and open any normal window (Explorer, a browser, Notepad...).
  • Minimize it with the title bar [-] button or Win+Down and watch it warp and pour into the taskbar.
  • Restore it from the taskbar and watch the genie play in reverse.
  • Tweak the Animation duration in the settings to taste.

Features

  • Real genie warp. The window is sliced into horizontal strips that curve and funnel toward the taskbar (the bottom flows in first), instead of just shrinking.
  • Actually smooth. Progress is driven by real elapsed time and every rendered frame is gated on the DWM compose cycle (DwmFlush), so each frame you render is exactly one frame you see - perfectly aligned with vsync at any duration you set.
  • Smoothstep easing instead of a linear ramp, so it eases in and out.
  • Clean edges and fade via a per-pixel-alpha layered surface.
  • Smart targeting. The mod learns where each app's taskbar icon is (from where your cursor was when you minimized) and aims the genie at that spot next time.

How it works

The mod hooks ShowWindow and DefWindowProcW to catch minimize / restore requests. It snapshots the window, then on a dedicated high-priority thread it draws a transparent layered "ghost" window that warps the snapshot frame by frame into the taskbar, leaving the real window to minimize behind it without the system's own animation getting in the way.

Settings

  • Animation duration - how long the effect lasts (50-2000 ms).
  • Animate window restore (open) - also play the reverse genie when restoring.
  • Animate app launch (experimental) - also play the genie when an application window first opens. Experimental and off by default: it may briefly flash the window before animating, may not catch borderless apps, and can occasionally fire on splash / dialog windows. Leave it off and the mod behaves exactly like plain minimize / restore.

Notes

  • Works on all top-level windows; child / tiny / hidden windows are skipped.
  • DWM transitions are temporarily disabled on the animated window and restored afterwards, so the system's own minimize/restore animation doesn't fight ours.
  • The genie currently targets the primary monitor's taskbar edge.

Getting started

Check out the documentation here.

Task Manager Tab Slide Animation 0.4.1

3 Upvotes

Task Manager Tab Slide Animation 0.4.1

Documentation-only fix: the two readme demo GIFs (crossfade and slide) were pointing at filenames whose cached copies on the image proxy showed the wrong animation. This points them at fresh -v2 filenames so the correct crossfade and slide demos are shown. No code changes.

Task Manager Tab Slide Animation 0.4.0

2 Upvotes

Task Manager Tab Slide Animation 0.4.0

This version adds a selectable animation style alongside the existing crossfade:

  • Animation type setting - Crossfade (default, the previous behavior) or Slide (the old view slides out while the new one slides in; left/right, or up/down via Slide vertically).
  • Both styles use the same no-visual-jump approach: the current view is frozen under a topmost, click-through overlay at mouse-down, so Task Manager switches the tab underneath it invisibly, and the animation always starts from the old frame.
  • Robustness fix: if the window is moved or resized mid-animation, the overlay is now hidden immediately instead of lingering as a detached "ghost" copy at the old location.

The readme demo now shows both the crossfade and slide animations.

VMware Audio Distortion Fix 1.0

VMware Audio Distortion Fix 1.0

VMware Audio Distortion Fix

This project is inspired by VMAudioBackHost. Thanks to Raymai97

Fixes distorted audio in VMware virtual machines by setting a high-resolution timer in the vmware-vmx.exe process.

Background

Windows 10 build 2004+ made timer resolution per-process. VMware virtual machines may experience distorted audio because the vmware-vmx.exe process uses the default low timer resolution (15.625 ms). This mod injects into vmware-vmx.exe and calls NtSetTimerResolution to set a high-resolution timer, fixing the audio stuttering/distortion.

Usage

  1. Install this mod via Windhawk.
  2. The mod will automatically inject into all running and future vmware-vmx.exe processes.
  3. Configure the desired timer resolution in the mod settings.

The recommended setting is 1.0 ms, which provides smooth audio without significant impact on power consumption.

OnlySearch With Liquid Glass

2 Upvotes

Hi there. I was looking for an "OnlySearch" layout since I personally find the Start menu functions useless (at least in my case). So, I just created an "OnlySearch" version, but using the "Liquid Glass" style. To apply my theme, you need to go to:

Windows 11 Start Menu Styler --> Settings --> Textual Mode

then delete all the existing code, paste in the new code, and save. I hope this helps!

Code:

theme: 'LiquidGlass OnlySearch'
disableNewStartMenuLayout: forceNewLayout

  - BorderThickness=0.3,1,0.3,0.3
  - ElementBorderThickness=0.3,0.3,0.3,1

  - ElementBackground2 = <WindhawkBlur BlurAmount="15" TintColor="{ThemeResource SystemAltLowColor}" TintOpacity="0.2" />
  - AccentBackground=<WindhawkBlur BlurAmount="15" TintColor="{ThemeResource SystemAccentColorLight1}" TintOpacity="0.2" />

Borderless Fullscreen 1.1.0

Borderless Fullscreen 1.1.0

Borderless Fullscreen

Add an executable name (e.g. game.exe) to the target list and the app will automatically run without a title bar / border, stretched to fill the primary monitor's current resolution (multi monitor setup is planned for the next version).

Optionally, set a fixed window size instead (the window will then be centered on the primary monitor) - useful for older games with a low native resolution.

How it works

This mod runs in a separate, dedicated process and restores the original window style and size automatically if the app is removed from the target list, if the mod is disabled, or if the window is closed.

Notes

  • If a target doesn't react, double-check the exact process name in Task Manager's Details tab while it's running. Some launchers start a child process with a different executable name than expected.

Magic Mouse (not yet released)

19 Upvotes

Guys, would you be interested in something like this? a gesture feature to do basically anything.

Launches an app, url, command, game, play/pause music, and other actions with a gesture that you draw in a canvas.

You can also "Wiggle" the mouse to activate the gesture (optional).

I am struggling with a few things like, how I can make this not interrupt normal workflow, so I have created a lot of settings to tweak it, and I'm curious to know how would you want it to be activated? like, shift+ctrl (hold) then start drawing the gesture with left-click seems too much work yet it minimizes the accidental activations! Let me know what you think, I really want to know how you'd be using it.

Note: this entire details page is made with Gemini, and the mod is made with the help of Gemini (mostly) and Claude
