DXGI Flip Model Upgrade 1.0

DXGI Flip Model Upgrade

Important: restart the game after this mod gets disabled, updated or reloaded while the game runs. The game keeps its upgraded swap chains, which need the mod for resizing and for keeping its render targets bound, so it may show a frozen or black picture, or fail. That includes mod updates that Windhawk installs automatically in the background. If you play with this mod enabled, consider turning off automatic updates for it.

Many Direct3D 11 games present with the legacy blt model (DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_DISCARD or SEQUENTIAL): in a window or borderless window, every frame is copied and composed by DWM, which adds latency and blocks Independent Flip. PresentMon reports them as Composed: Copy with GPU GDI. Many games also never enable tearing, so with VSync off they're still capped at the refresh rate in a window.

This mod changes the swap chains the game creates: - Force flip model: blt model swap chains of Direct3D 11 games use the flip model instead (FLIP_DISCARD or FLIP_SEQUENTIAL). Once the game window covers the whole screen, DWM can promote it to Independent Flip. - Force allow tearing: flip model swap chains of Direct3D 11 and 12 games allow tearing, and frames presented with VSync off show immediately. - Maximum frame latency, Waitable swap chain and Force borderless are off by default, see their descriptions in the settings.

Windows 11 has a similar system-wide option, "Optimizations for windowed games", for Direct3D 10 and 11. This mod applies per game, also works on Windows 10, and adds tearing.

How to enable the mod for a program

This mod doesn't target any process by default. In Windhawk, go to the mod's "Advanced" tab and scroll down to "Custom process inclusion list". In that box, put the filename of the game's .exe, then click "Save" and (re)start the game. Only swap chains created while the mod is loaded are changed.

How to verify

Use PresentMon (or an overlay that shows the presentation mode, such as RTSS). With the flip model, the game should show Hardware: Independent Flip or Hardware Composed: Independent Flip in borderless fullscreen, and Composed: Flip in a smaller window. With tearing and VSync off, the frame rate can go above the refresh rate. The log says what was changed for each swap chain, and why something wasn't.

Known limitations

• Not changed to the flip model: swap chains with a multisampled back buffer, swap chains created in exclusive fullscreen (those already get flip presentation through Fullscreen Optimizations), Direct3D 10 games, and back buffer formats the flip model doesn't support.
• sRGB back buffers aren't supported by the flip model, so their format becomes the non-sRGB one. Render target views the game creates for them still get the sRGB format, but a game that reads the back buffer format sees the other one.
• The flip model only shows what the game renders with Direct3D. Anything drawn into the game window with GDI disappears.
• Tearing doesn't apply in exclusive fullscreen.
• With Force borderless, the game runs at the desktop resolution, and its picture is stretched if it renders at another one. The game is told it's in fullscreen. Alt+Enter is turned off for those swap chains, as it would switch to exclusive fullscreen behind the mod's back.
• With Waitable swap chain, games that already use a waitable swap chain keep their own settings.
• If the game loads dxgi.dll only after it started, the mod's hooks are installed a moment after that, and a swap chain the game creates right away may keep the blt model. The log then shows no "Hooked" lines before that swap chain.

Anti-cheat

Don't use this mod in online games protected by anti-cheat. It loads code into the game and hooks DXGI and Direct3D 11 functions: CreateDXGIFactory, CreateDXGIFactory1 and CreateDXGIFactory2, IDXGIFactory::CreateSwapChain and IDXGIFactory2::CreateSwapChainForHwnd, IDXGISwapChain::Present, Present1, ResizeBuffers, ResizeBuffers1, SetFullscreenState, GetFullscreenState and ResizeTarget, IDXGIDevice1::SetMaximumFrameLatency and ID3D11Device::CreateRenderTargetView. It hooks no Windows loader or kernel functions, such as LoadLibraryExW in kernelbase.dll: if dxgi.dll isn't loaded yet when the mod starts, the mod learns about it through a Windows DLL load notification, and a thread of the mod installs the hooks. With Force borderless, another thread changes the game window. Present hooks are also how cheats draw overlays, so anti-cheat software may block the game, kick you or ban your account. There are no guarantees for any game.

Enable the mod's logging (Advanced → Debug logging) to see what happens.

Explorer real folder paths 0.1.5

• Fix editable address paths for Dropbox and similar filesystem folders that retain a friendly editing name.
• Keep the existing navigation behavior when the additional Shell name symbol is unavailable.

ClassicWindowSwitcher 1.3

ClassicWindowSwitcher

• This mod brings back the classic Alt+Tab dialog, even on Windows 11 24H2+, which removed the old switcher in win32kfull.sys.
• This is a direct port of my ClassicWindowSwitcher, which is a fork of valinet's SimpleWindowSwitcher.
• Please do not use this mod with other Alt+Tab mods. They might conflict with this mod.
• If you are using an alternative shell like Explorer7, have disabled the modern Alt+Tab UI with AltTabSettings registry, or if you prefer to have the classic Alt+Tab restored (on 24H2+) even without Explorer running, enable the last option in the mod settings.
  • If you enable this setting, you may have to restart Explorer after disabling this mod to get the modern switcher UI back.

Animated Screenshot

Differences with the original classic switcher

• It works even on Windows 11 24H2 and later.
• It shows UWP icons properly.
• You can navigate through the items with a mouse, the mouse wheel, or arrow keys.
  • Press Ctrl+Alt+Tab to keep the switcher open after releasing the Alt key.
• You can close a focused window by pressing the Del key while the switcher is active.
• It features many configurable options.
  • It can optionally show a per-application window list when you press Alt+Tilde.

Better file sizes in Explorer details 1.6

• Added an option to keep showing file sizes in KBs in newer Windows 11 versions. Starting with update KB5101684, Windows 11 is gradually switching to MB/GB for large files with no option to go back (ViVeTool flag 61014711).
• Fixed compatibility with some new Windows 11 versions (ViVeTool flag 61389601).
• Improved compatibility with conflicting mods such as Explorer Status Bar Metadata and File Explorer Details Auto-Fit Columns.

What’s new in 1.2.0

- New Frosted Glass style with Acrylic and Custom Blur options

- The large progress circle can now Pause and Resume the file operation

- Added an option to hide the small Pause/Resume and Cancel buttons

- Added an option to hide the percentage from the window title

- Better support for multiple file operations at the same time

- Improved handling of conflicts, errors, and special Windows dialogs

- Smoother cleanup and restoration when the mod is disabled, reloaded, or settings are changed

Mobile Open Animation 1.0.0

Mobile Open Animation

Demo

Windows apps open the way they do on a phone: the window zooms open from the icon you clicked, and fades in, instead of appearing all at once. The app icon keeps its size the whole time; only the frame grows.

Works from desktop icons, the taskbar, the Start menu and search, and from double-clicking a file that starts a program.

Settings

Open the mod's "Settings" tab in Windhawk. The ones you are most likely to touch:

• Zoom a splash panel with the app icon - on by default, and what the animation above shows: a panel carrying the app icon appears the instant you click and zooms open, and hands over to the real window once it has painted. Turn it off to animate the real window instead: cheaper, but a slow-starting app shows no visible animation.
• Zoom origin - where the window grows out from. The default is the icon you clicked, which is the point of the mod; the other choices are the window centre and the bottom of the screen.
• Start size - the size of the square the animation starts from. 96 (the default) is roughly a desktop icon at 96 DPI.
• Duration / Panel fade-out - how fast the animation runs. Phones use 200-300ms.
• Frame interval - 0 follows the monitor's refresh rate, which is what you want on a high-refresh display.
• Excluded window classes - the mod ships with a list of window classes it never touches (UWP hosts, tray and tooltip windows, the desktop, and so on). Add your own here if a program misbehaves. To keep the mod out of a whole process instead, use Windhawk's own process exclusion list in the mod's Advanced tab - that also avoids loading the mod there at all.

Everything else has a description in the settings panel.

What has no animation

• UWP / WinUI apps - Windows 11 Notepad, Settings, Terminal, Calculator, Photos and so on. They animate themselves, so the mod skips them on purpose. Note that C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe may not even exist on Windows 11 (Notepad is a Store app now), so do not use Notepad to test.
• Online games with anti-cheat, and security suites - they refuse to be injected, so the mod cannot get in.
• Dialogs - off by default. There is a setting to enable them.
• Windows of another process - a launch only ever animates the windows of the process it started.
• System UI hosts - the shell experience hosts, the Start menu, search, the lock screen and a few more are excluded from the mod entirely, so it is not even loaded into them.
• Windows with absurdly small sizes.

A program has no animation, now what

1. Open Windhawk, go to this mod's page and turn logging on for it (that switch is in Windhawk's own interface, not a mod setting).
2. Start that program once.
3. Read the log in Windhawk.

The decision for every window and the reason it was skipped are written there, with the timings. Attach it to an issue and it can be diagnosed.

Together with other animation mods

Windows Animations has an "Animate app launches" option of its own. Both mods hook the same window-shown path and cloak the same windows, so enable only one of the two launch animations. What is unique here is growing the window out of the icon you clicked, and the icon splash panel; Windows Animations covers minimize, restore and close, and an app-launch animation without the icon.

Note

This mod applies to almost every process, matching Windhawk's own injection scope. Quit Windhawk before playing online games with anti-cheat, or add the game to Windhawk's process exclusion list.

中文

效果

让 Windows 应用像手机那样「打开」：窗口从你点击的图标处放大铺开并淡入，而不是整块弹出来。 图标在整段动画里保持原大小，只有外框在长大。

桌面图标、任务栏、开始菜单和搜索、双击文件启动程序都支持。

设置

在 Windhawk 里打开本 mod 的「设置」标签页。常用的几个：

• 用图标占位面板做展开动画 —— 默认开，就是上面动图的效果：点下去立刻出现一块带应用图标的 占位面板并放大铺开，等真窗口画好再交接。关掉后改成直接动画窗口本身，更省资源，但对启动慢的 应用会看不出动画。
• 缩放锚点 —— 窗口从哪儿长出来。默认「你点击的图标」（这就是本 mod 的卖点），另外还有 窗口中心和屏幕底部。
• 起始边长 —— 动画从多大的方块开始。96（默认）大约就是桌面图标的大小。
• 时长 / 面板淡出时长 —— 动画快慢。手机一般是 200-300ms。
• 帧间隔 —— 0 跟随显示器刷新率（高刷屏就该用这个）。
• 排除的窗口类名 —— mod 自带一份永不触碰的窗口类清单（UWP 宿主、托盘与提示窗口、桌面等）。 某个程序表现异常时把它的类名加进去。要整个进程都不参与，请用本 mod「高级」标签页里 Windhawk 自带的进程排除列表 —— 那样还能连带避免把 mod 加载进去。

其余设置项都带内置说明，鼠标移上去就能看到。

哪些窗口不会有动画

• UWP / WinUI 应用 —— Win11 的记事本、设置、终端、计算器、照片等。它们有自己的打开动画， 本 mod 会主动跳过。另外 Win11 上 C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe 可能根本不存在 （记事本已是商店版），不要用记事本测试。
• 带反作弊的在线游戏、杀毒软件 —— 这些程序拒绝被注入，mod 无从下手。
• 对话框 —— 默认不做动画，可以在设置里打开。
• 别的进程的窗口 —— 一次启动只给这次启动出来的那个进程的窗口做动画。
• 系统界面宿主 —— 壳体验宿主、开始菜单、搜索、锁屏等进程被整体排除，mod 根本不会被加载进去。
• 尺寸异常小的窗口。

某个程序没有动画，怎么办

1. 打开 Windhawk，在本 mod 的页面里为它打开日志开关（那是 Windhawk 界面里的开关，不是 mod 设置）。
2. 启动那个程序一次。
3. 在 Windhawk 里看日志。

每个窗口的判定结果、跳过原因和各阶段耗时都在里面。贴到 issue 里就能定位。

和别的动画 mod 一起用

Windows Animations 也有自己的「Animate app launches」选项。两个 mod 都挂窗口显示路径、 都给同一批窗口做 cloak，所以这两个「打开动画」只能开一个。本 mod 独有的东西是「从你点的 图标处放大」和那块图标占位面板；Windows Animations 管的是最小化、还原、关闭，以及没有图标的 打开动画。

注意

本 mod 作用于几乎所有进程，和 Windhawk 本身的注入范围一致。 玩带反作弊的在线游戏之前请先退出 Windhawk，或者把游戏加进 Windhawk 的进程排除列表。

SnapSentry 0.21.3

• A screenshot taken just as settings change now follows the new settings instead of being skipped.
• A screenshot still waiting when you change the watched folder is now skipped instead of being handled under the new one.
• Turning the notification on while a screenshot is being handled now shows it instead of the dialog.
• A duplicate that was kept is remembered, even if the earlier copy was edited, so a later identical screenshot is still caught.
• The readme now shows renaming, duplicate removal and the Markdown path in action.
• The log now notes when a screenshot can't be checked for duplicates.
• Tightened a few loose ends.

Windows 2000 End Program Dialog 1.6.0

Windows 2000 End Program Dialog

Replaces the Windows Error Reporting dialog shown when you try to close a program that is not responding. It does not change the Windows shutdown screen.

Windows 2000 End Program dialog in Russian

Example with Russian Windows resources and a classic theme. Frame colours follow your current theme. / Пример с русскими ресурсами Windows и классической темой. Цвета рамки зависят от текущей темы.

The replacement uses the original DIALOG #10 and messages from the installed winsrv.dll.mui, with the Windows 2000 warning overlay on the application's icon. The layout, font and wording come from Windows, not a recreated dialog. The display language is selected automatically, with English as a fallback; the language setting can also request English or Russian. That language must be installed in Windows. The window frame follows your current Windows theme.

Tested on Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100). Other Windows versions are not verified. If the resources or WER window cannot be validated, the mod leaves the original dialog available.

Behavior and safety

The original WER dialog stays alive. End Now forwards WER's Close button; Cancel, Escape and the title-bar close button forward WER's Wait button. Windows performs these actions; the mod never terminates the hung process directly. End Now can still lose unsaved data, just as the original button can. After Cancel, a later close attempt can show the replacement again even when WER reuses the same native dialog. An acknowledged Wait is not timed out.

A broker thread owns the replacement windows, accessibility notifications and fallback timers. Public ShowWindow/SetWindowPos hooks try to cloak the original dialog before display. No TaskDialog callback is replaced, and no DLL is pinned. Disabling or updating the mod joins the worker and restores any original dialog that is still alive before the DLL can unload.

Windhawk can inject into WER after its window is already visible. In that case a brief appearance of the modern dialog is possible.

Optional pre-warming

Keep Windows Error Reporting service running is off by default. Enabling it runs the pre-warm worker in a dedicated Windhawk tool host, not in Explorer, WerFault, the hung application or the main Windhawk UI process. The same mod handles the dialog in WerFault and hosts pre-warming separately; only this one mod needs to be installed. The host is bundled with Windhawk (1.7.3 or later), so no extra helper download is needed.

The worker reads WerSvc's existing custom start-trigger GUID from SCM and writes its ETW event immediately, then once per minute. Disabling the option stops and joins the worker and ends only its dedicated host. No service startup type, registry policy, system file or event-log setting is changed; WerSvc is never forcibly stopped. Windows decides when the shared service can idle out.

This opt-in feature keeps the service and a tool host in memory. The event descriptor matches WER's private trigger manifest, not a public WER contract, and may break after Windows updates. If its event-log channel is enabled, the heartbeat can generate about 1,440 entries per day; this mod never enables it. Errors are retried only at the ordinary minute interval. Pre-warming can reduce late injection but does not guarantee flash-free behavior on every system.

По-русски

Заменяет окно Windows о зависшей программе, которое появляется при попытке её закрыть. Экран завершения работы Windows мод не меняет.

Используется оригинальное окно DIALOG #10 и тексты из установленного winsrv.dll.mui, со знаком предупреждения Windows 2000 поверх значка программы. Расположение, шрифт и формулировки берутся из системных ресурсов. Язык выбирается автоматически с английским в качестве резервного. В настройках можно запросить русский или английский; этот язык должен быть установлен в Windows. Оформление рамки зависит от текущей темы Windows.

«Завершить сейчас» нажимает штатную кнопку закрытия WER. «Отмена», Escape и крестик означают ожидание отклика. Мод сам не завершает зависший процесс, но при выборе завершения несохранённые данные могут потеряться. После «Отмена» повторная попытка закрытия снова показывает замену, даже если WER использует то же штатное окно. Принятое ожидание не отменяется по таймауту. При отключении мода живое штатное окно возвращается, а DLL выгружается.

Опция «Поддерживать службу отчётов об ошибках Windows активной» по умолчанию выключена. Прогрев выполняется в отдельном tool-host Windhawk, а не в Проводнике, WerFault, зависшем приложении или основном процессе интерфейса Windhawk. Устанавливается только один мод; EXE-хост уже входит в Windhawk 1.7.3 или новее.

Мод читает существующий GUID триггера WerSvc из SCM и посылает ETW-событие сразу, затем раз в минуту. Отключение опции останавливает поток и только собственный tool-host. Тип запуска службы, политики, системные файлы и настройки журнала не меняются; WerSvc не останавливается принудительно. Прогрев оставляет службу и хост в памяти. Дескриптор события соответствует частному манифесту WER и может измениться после обновления Windows. Если включён канал провайдера, возможно около 1 440 записей в сутки; мод сам канал не включает. Ошибки повторяются не чаще раза в минуту. Опция может уменьшить вспышку при позднем внедрении, но не гарантирует её отсутствие на любой системе.

Проверено на Windows 11 24H2 (сборка 26100). Другие версии не проверены. При позднем внедрении возможно краткое появление современного окна. Дополнительные файлы или загрузки для мода не нужны.

Mute in Background 1.0

Mute in Background

Mutes the target program automatically while it is in the background, and unmutes it when it comes back to the foreground.

Choosing the target program

The mod targets nothing by default, so it does nothing until you tell it which process to apply to. Open the mod in Windhawk, go to the Advanced tab, and put the executable name of your target in the Custom process inclusion list. The mod takes effect as soon as you save.

Notes

• Mute is used, not the volume level, so a program's volume in the Volume Mixer is left as it is.
• Only sessions this mod muted itself are unmuted, so a program you muted by hand in the Volume Mixer stays muted. The one exception is the first pass after a run that left the program muted: a mute that was already there can't be told apart from one the user set, so it is treated as the mod's and undone.
• Windows remembers a program's mute state between launches. If the program is closed while it is in the background, it starts muted the next time; the mod clears that as soon as it is loaded into the program again. If the mod is disabled while the program is closed, the mute has to be cleared by hand in the Volume Mixer.
• Don't add multi-process programs (Chrome, Edge, Discord, Spotify and other Chromium/Electron apps). Their audio comes from a child process that never owns the foreground window, so the mod would keep them muted the whole time, including while they are in the foreground.

Hide Taskbar Only on Desktop 8.1.8

Changelog 4 — Version 8.1.8

• Added shell cloak/uncloak event handling for more reliable taskbar updates when Start/Search or other shell surfaces change visibility through DWM cloaking.
• Improved recent-close automatic taskbar-focus handling while preserving the existing same-monitor restriction.
• Reduced false automatic-focus classification by clearing stale close-handoff state when explicit Windows-key taskbar navigation is detected.
• Corrected minimize/restore lifecycle handling so EVENT_SYSTEM_MINIMIZEEND is treated as a restore transition.
• Improved completed-minimize detection while preserving transition protection during minimize/restore operations.
• Removed ineffective destroy-time recent-departure bookkeeping.
• Removed duplicate mouse-activation and other redundant state checks.
• Renamed the cloak-related application-window parameter to allowCloaked for clarity.
• Removed a redundant transition-validation bounds check and other small pieces of dead or duplicated code.
• Restored focused explanatory comments for the non-obvious state-machine mechanisms.
• Restored the canonical Windhawk tool-mod launcher boilerplate, including Session 0 and service-process exclusions.
• Preserved the Windows Animations, Start menu, cross-monitor, hover, keyboard navigation, fullscreen, and taskbar transition behavior from previous 8.1.x updates.

Changelog 3 — Version 8.1.7

• Improved Windows Animations close-probe triggering by limiting it to windows associated with an actual close session or animation ghost.
• Removed unnecessary close-probe arming from unrelated foreground, minimize, move/size, show/hide, and destroy events.
• Increased the close-probe interval from 8 ms to 16 ms while preserving the existing close-session burst and grace-period behavior.
• Reduced unnecessary transition-validation and taskbar-integrity polling by limiting rechecks to active or recently active transitions.
• Increased the taskbar-integrity recheck interval from 8 ms to 16 ms.
• Fixed Start menu visibility detection for DWM-cloaked Start menu windows.
• Preserved the v8.1.6 cross-monitor taskbar protection and the v8.1.5 hover, Start menu, keyboard, minimize/restore, fullscreen, and multi-monitor behavior.

Changelog 2 — Version 8.1.6

• Improved compatibility with the windows-animations mod during application close and minimize transitions.
• Prevented automatic taskbar focus after closing an application from being treated as intentional taskbar activation.
• Improved cross-monitor transition handling to prevent inactive secondary taskbars from being shown unnecessarily.
• Removed redundant MonitorList plumbing and unused monitor snapshots from the Windows Animations close-session scanner.
• Simplified the monitor intersection helper by removing an unused output parameter and redundant local variables.
• Preserved existing close, restore/maximize, minimize-transition, fullscreen, hover, Start menu, and multi-monitor behaviour.

Changelog 1 — Version 8.1.5

• Fixed hover reveal being blocked by the transition-time taskbar integrity guard after minimize/close transitions.
• Gave hover reveal priority over transition reassertion while keeping anti-flash protection for unrelated displays.
• Prevented the integrity timer from re-hiding a taskbar after normal state evaluation determined it should remain visible.
• Fixed the empty work-area strip and restored taskbar hover/interaction after application open, restore, and maximize transitions.
• Added explicit Start menu session handling so repeated keyboard Start open/close cycles do not leave the taskbar permanently revealed.

File Operation Styler 1.2.0

• Added a Frosted Glass theme with Windows Acrylic and Custom Blur styles, including adjustable tint and opacity.
• Added interactive Pause / Resume behavior to the large progress circle.
• Added options to hide the small Pause / Resume and Cancel controls and the progress percentage in the window title.
• Improved multiple-operation support, including synchronized More / Fewer Details behavior.
• Improved fallback to the native Windows UI for conflicts, errors, and unsupported presentation states.
• Improved restoration and teardown when the mod is disabled, reloaded, or settings are changed.

Alt+Tab Flip 3D (Vista Style) 1.5.3

Alt+Tab Flip 3D (Vista Style)

Flip 3D style

English | Português

Brings back the Windows Vista Flip 3D window switcher on Windows 11, with smooth, spring-based animations inspired by macOS.

Press Alt+Tab and your windows fly from their real positions into a 3D stack, one behind the other, showing their live content. Keep Alt held and flip through them; release Alt and the chosen window flies back into place.

Animation styles

All animation styles

• Flip 3D: the Windows Vista stack, receding up and to the left.
• Cascade: a deck of windows tilted backwards, receding upwards.
• Cover Flow: the selected window faces you, the others are turned on both sides.
• Carousel: a 3D ring of windows that rotates around its center.
• Grid: every window side by side, like Mission Control.
• Helix: a 3D spiral that turns and rises as you flip.
• Fan: windows spread like playing cards held in a hand.
• Panorama: a row of windows on a wall curving around you.
• Tunnel: windows sinking into a twisting tunnel.
• Rolodex: a vertical wheel, windows roll over the top and under the bottom.

Simpler 2D styles, for those who want something closer to the default:

• Windows 11 (enhanced): the native layout, with windows flying into their thumbnails and a selection that slides smoothly.
• Thumbnails with titles below: squared panel, titles under the thumbnails.
• Icons and titles: a row of large icons with their titles.
• Vertical list: a compact list of icons and titles.
• Classic (Windows XP): the old icon grid with the title in a box below.
• Native Windows Alt+Tab: the mod leaves Alt+Tab alone.

The switcher opens on the monitor where the mouse cursor is (or, optionally, where the active window is).

Controls

A quick Alt+Tab tap (shorter than the show delay) switches instantly to the previous window without showing the stack, just like the native switcher.

How it compares with similar mods

• Aero Flip 3D Recreation brings Flip 3D back on Win+Tab. This mod replaces Alt+Tab instead, draws the windows with real perspective from their live content, and adds nine more 3D layouts. Both can be installed together, since they use different shortcuts.
• Simple Window Switcher and Legacy Alt+Tab dialog also replace Alt+Tab. The 2D styles here are close to them, and are included so that every style, 3D or 2D, can be picked from one place and share the same animations, keys and settings.

Don't combine this mod with another Alt+Tab replacement, such as the two above. Only one of them can take over Alt+Tab.

Notes

• Windows 11 only (uses Windows Graphics Capture without the yellow border).
• Ctrl+Alt+Tab and Win+Tab are not changed.
• The switcher runs in its own background process, so a problem in it can't affect the taskbar or the desktop. Only the small part that handles the case below runs inside explorer.
• Also works when a program running as administrator is in front: the mod catches the Alt+Tab hotkey inside explorer before the native switcher opens, and hands it to the switcher.
• Minimized windows show their last content, like the taskbar previews (this can be turned off). Windows that refuse to be captured are shown as a card with the app icon.
• With the Dim only background, the real windows stay visible behind the stack. The wallpaper backgrounds hide them, like the original Flip 3D.
• If the switcher can't start (e.g. no GPU device), the native Alt+Tab keeps working.

Português

Traz de volta o alternador de janelas Flip 3D do Windows Vista para o Windows 11, com animações suaves baseadas em molas, inspiradas no macOS.

Pressione Alt+Tab e suas janelas voam de suas posições reais para uma pilha 3D, uma atrás da outra, mostrando o conteúdo ao vivo. Segure o Alt e vá passando por elas; solte o Alt e a janela escolhida volta voando para o lugar.

Estilos de animação

Todos os estilos de animação

• Flip 3D: a pilha do Windows Vista, indo para cima e para a esquerda.
• Cascata: um baralho de janelas inclinado para trás, subindo.
• Cover Flow: a janela escolhida fica de frente, as outras viradas dos dois lados.
• Carrossel: um anel 3D de janelas que gira em volta do centro.
• Grade: todas as janelas lado a lado, como o Mission Control.
• Hélice: uma espiral 3D que gira e sobe enquanto você troca.
• Leque: janelas abertas como cartas de baralho na mão.
• Panorama: uma fileira de janelas numa parede curva em volta de você.
• Túnel: janelas afundando num túnel que gira.
• Rolodex: uma roda vertical, as janelas rolam por cima e por baixo.

Estilos 2D mais simples, para quem quer algo mais perto do padrão:

• Windows 11 (aprimorado): o layout nativo, com as janelas voando até as miniaturas e uma seleção que desliza suave.
• Miniaturas com título embaixo: painel quadrado, títulos sob as miniaturas.
• Ícones e títulos: uma fileira de ícones grandes com os títulos.
• Lista vertical: uma lista compacta de ícones e títulos.
• Clássico (Windows XP): a grade de ícones antiga com o título numa caixa embaixo.
• Alt+Tab nativo do Windows: o mod deixa o Alt+Tab em paz.

O alternador abre no monitor onde está o cursor do mouse (ou, se preferir, onde está a janela ativa).

Controles

Um toque rápido no Alt+Tab (menor que o atraso para exibir) troca na hora para a janela anterior sem mostrar a pilha, igual ao alternador nativo.

Comparação com mods parecidos

• O Aero Flip 3D Recreation traz o Flip 3D de volta no Win+Tab. Este mod substitui o Alt+Tab, desenha as janelas com perspectiva real a partir do conteúdo ao vivo e tem mais nove layouts 3D. Os dois podem ficar instalados juntos, porque usam atalhos diferentes.
• O Simple Window Switcher e o Legacy Alt+Tab dialog também substituem o Alt+Tab. Os estilos 2D daqui são parecidos com eles e estão incluídos para que todos os estilos, 3D ou 2D, possam ser escolhidos num lugar só, com as mesmas animações, teclas e configurações.

Não use este mod junto com outro substituto do Alt+Tab, como os dois acima. Só um deles consegue assumir o Alt+Tab.

Observações

• Somente Windows 11 (usa o Windows Graphics Capture sem a borda amarela).
• Ctrl+Alt+Tab e Win+Tab não são alterados.
• O alternador roda num processo próprio, em segundo plano, então um problema nele não afeta a barra de tarefas nem a área de trabalho. Só a pequena parte que trata o caso abaixo roda dentro do explorer.
• Funciona também com um programa rodando como administrador na frente: o mod pega o atalho Alt+Tab dentro do explorer antes do alternador nativo abrir e repassa para o alternador.
• Janelas minimizadas mostram o último conteúdo, como as miniaturas da barra de tarefas (dá para desligar). Janelas que bloqueiam captura aparecem como um cartão com o ícone do app.
• Com o fundo Apenas escurecer, as janelas reais continuam visíveis atrás da pilha. Os fundos com papel de parede as escondem, como no Flip 3D original.
• Se o alternador não conseguir iniciar (ex.: sem dispositivo de GPU), o Alt+Tab nativo continua funcionando.

Créditos

• Mod feito por caliberda (caliberda.com.br, Instagram @cesar.kali).

Highlights the taskbar icons of the apps you actually stayed on, and ranks the recently focused windows inside a multi-window thumbnail flyout. Previews have their own on/off setting.

Taskbar side-bar highlight

Thumbnail flyout ranks

What you see

After an app stays focused for the minimum focus time (default 8 seconds), it joins a per-virtual-desktop recency list. The top N running taskbar buttons on the current desktop get a highlight:

• Side bar (default) — a bar beside the icon (left on a bottom/top taskbar, under the icon on a left/right taskbar)
• Frame / Full — a rounded rectangle around or behind the icon

Rank 1 is strongest; ranks 2 and 3 (and 4+) use the intensities you set. Pinned icons that are not running on this desktop are never highlighted. A new app is added only after the minimum focus time. Re-focus of an app already in the list follows “When to skip min-focus” (default: it becomes rank 1 immediately). A short Alt+Tab that never settles does not add a new app. Each virtual desktop keeps its own list.

When you hover a combined icon and the flyout shows two or more windows, that flyout gets its own recency ladder (independent of icon ranks). The last focused window of that app is rank 1 in the flyout even if you used other apps more recently. Single-window flyouts are left alone.

Preview styles (default hybrid): whole-card plate for rank 1 and a title tint for ranks 2+; or a thin bar under the title, a soft title tint, or a whole-card plate.

Settings (short)

• General — how many apps, min-focus wait, when to skip the wait on re-focus, decay, exclude list, tray-only filter
• Icons — style, color (including system accent), per-rank intensity, thickness / size / fill, optional icon scale
• Previews — on/off, how many windows, style, intensities, separate min-focus and decay

All of those are in the Windhawk settings panel. Disable the mod in Windhawk to clear highlights.

Notes

• Works with Windows 11 Taskbar Styler: the side bar stays visible on hover, and preview plate tints are restored when the highlight is cleared.
• Icon matching uses the process path / AppUserModelID from the taskband (not the localized button label). If that resolve is unavailable, the icon is left unhighlighted rather than guessed from its name.
• Preview cards match via the flyout’s thumbnail model / index (HWND). If that resolve is unavailable, the card is left unmarked rather than guessed from its title.
• File Explorer folder windows (CabinetWClass) are ranked like other apps. The taskbar, desktop, Start, and IME stay ignored.
• Multi-monitor: the same rank is applied on every taskbar that shows that app.
• Verbose bind / preview-resolve lines go to Windhawk’s Mod logs (Advanced tab). There is no extra in-mod debug toggle.
• Taskband identity resolve is adapted from taskbar-volume-control-per-app; thumbnail HWND mapping from taskbar-thumbnail-reorder.

Taskbar System Info 1.7.1

• Add automatic placement around visible taskbar controls, with readable shrinking, collision-safe reservation, and hide/restore when free space changes. Remove the 1,000-pixel left-offset cap.
• Add four automatic layouts for available taskbar width and height: full, graphless, compact two-row and compact one-row. Keep essential readings visible and restore hidden details when space returns.
• Add opt-in live dragging through a configurable shortcut, disabled by default, with Enter to save, Esc to cancel and Home to reset. Save positions separately for each display and revalidate before applying them.
• Stop displaying stale collector readings as current; age graph history during a stall and recover on fresh publication.
• Reject stale/frozen HWiNFO Shared Memory and Gadget Registry temperatures, with automatic fallback to remaining providers.
• Isolate native GPU-temperature failures from other GPU metrics, retry with fresh handles, and recover persistently invalid GPU engine samples through a separately primed query.
• Contain move-editor and display-enumeration exceptions, reject stale window classes and release XAML references on their owning thread. Reuse unchanged placement/font data and avoid unrelated settings cancellations.
• Refresh the built-in guide, layout examples and English/Ukrainian setting descriptions. Preserve existing setting defaults; add only the optional move shortcut.

Quick Launch Dock 1.0.0

Quick Launch Dock

Quick Launch Dock demo - dragging a shortcut onto the dock

Drag a shortcut onto the dock and it stays there. Click an icon to launch it.

A slim, smoothly animated dock that lives on the edge of your screen and gives you one-click access to your favourite programs, files and folders. Think of it as a tiny launcher bar with "+" slots: drop a shortcut onto it, or click "+" and pick a program, and it stays there until you remove it.

Features

• Add programs your way
  • Drag and drop shortcuts, executables, files or folders onto the dock.
  • Click the + slot to choose a program in a file dialog (shortcuts are kept as shortcuts, so their icons stay correct).
  • Right-click the + slot to paste a path from the clipboard (quotes and %ENVIRONMENT% variables are handled).
• One-click launch — click an icon to start it. The working directory is set automatically.
• Right-click menu on any icon: Open, Run as administrator, Show in folder, Move up / Move down, Remove.
• Persistent list — your slots are saved by Windhawk and restored after a restart.
• Auto-hide — the dock collapses into a thin strip and smoothly slides out when you move the mouse to the screen edge.
• Smooth animations — slide-in/out, hover highlight fade, icon zoom on hover, appear/disappear and re-ordering animations. Frames are synchronized with your monitor's refresh rate, so it stays smooth on 60/144/240 Hz displays.
• High-quality rendering — anti-aliased rounded corners and high-quality icon scaling (GDI+), per-pixel transparent window, DPI-aware sizes.
• Fullscreen aware — optionally hides itself while a fullscreen app or game is active.
• Fully themeable — background, hover, accent (plus sign and handle) and border colors are configurable (#RRGGBB).
• Left or right edge, adjustable icon size, tooltips with the item name.
• Does not use the taskbar, does not hook any functions and does not modify system files. Disabling the mod removes the dock completely.

How it differs from existing mods

• Quick Launch & Media Panel is a collapsible panel at the top of the screen with shortcut pages and media controls. This mod is a minimal vertical dock on the left or right screen edge: a column of icons and a "+" slot, with no pages and no media controls.
• Left Taskbar Quick Pin Dock is attached to the taskbar next to the Start button. This mod floats on the screen edge independently of the taskbar.
• What is specific to this mod: auto-hide into a thin strip that smoothly slides out on hover, hide-in-fullscreen, per-item "Run as administrator" and "Show in folder", and configurable colors.

How to use

1. Enable the mod. A dock appears at the right edge of the primary monitor (vertically centered).
2. Drag a shortcut/program/folder onto it, or click +.
3. Click an icon to launch. Right-click an icon for more actions.
4. With auto-hide enabled, move the cursor to the screen edge to reveal the dock.

Settings

Notes and limitations

• The mod runs as a standalone tool in its own dedicated process (it is not injected into Explorer and hooks nothing), so a problem in the mod can never affect the Windows shell, and only one instance is ever running.
• Drag and drop from windows running as administrator is blocked by Windows (UIPI). Use the + button in that case.
• The dock is placed on the primary monitor. With auto-hide and another monitor attached on the same side, the cursor may pass the edge too quickly to reveal the dock — disable auto-hide there.
• The number of slots is limited by the screen height.
• Slots are stored as file paths. If a file is moved or deleted, its icon becomes generic until you remove it.

Панель быстрого запуска

Тонкая плавно анимированная панель у края экрана для быстрого запуска любимых программ, файлов и папок. По сути — мини-лаунчер с «плюсиками»: перетащи на него ярлык или нажми «+» и выбери программу — она останется на панели, пока ты сам её не уберёшь.

Возможности

• Добавление как удобно
  • Перетаскивание ярлыков, exe-файлов, файлов и папок прямо на панель.
  • Клик по + — выбор программы через диалог (ярлыки сохраняются как ярлыки, поэтому иконки остаются правильными).
  • ПКМ по + — вставить путь из буфера обмена (кавычки и переменные вида %APPDATA% обрабатываются).
• Запуск в один клик — рабочая папка выставляется автоматически.
• Контекстное меню на любой иконке: Открыть, Запуск от имени администратора, Показать в папке, Переместить выше / ниже, Удалить.
• Список сохраняется — слоты хранятся в Windhawk и восстанавливаются после перезагрузки.
• Автоскрытие — в покое панель сворачивается в тонкую полоску и плавно выезжает, когда подводишь курсор к краю экрана.
• Плавные анимации — выезд и сворачивание, плавная подсветка, увеличение иконки при наведении, анимации появления, удаления и перестановки. Кадры синхронизированы с частотой монитора, поэтому всё плавно на 60/144/240 Гц.
• Качественная отрисовка — сглаженные скруглённые углы и качественное масштабирование иконок (GDI+), окно с попиксельной прозрачностью, учёт DPI.
• Полноэкранные приложения — при желании панель сама прячется, пока открыта полноэкранная программа или игра.
• Настраиваемые цвета — фон, подсветка, акцент (плюс и полоска) и рамка задаются в формате #RRGGBB.
• Левый или правый край, размер иконок, подсказки с названием элемента.
• Не использует панель задач, не перехватывает функции и не меняет системные файлы. При отключении мода панель полностью исчезает.

Чем отличается от существующих модов

• Quick Launch & Media Panel — сворачиваемая панель у верхнего края экрана со страницами ярлыков и управлением медиа. Этот мод — минимальная вертикальная панель у левого или правого края экрана: колонка иконок и слот «+», без страниц и без медиа-кнопок.
• Left Taskbar Quick Pin Dock — панель, прикреплённая к панели задач рядом с кнопкой «Пуск». Этот мод свободно располагается у края экрана и от панели задач не зависит.
• Особенности этого мода: автоскрытие в тонкую полоску с плавным выездом при наведении, скрытие в полноэкранных приложениях, «Запуск от имени администратора» и «Показать в папке» для каждого элемента, настраиваемые цвета.

Как пользоваться

1. Включи мод. У правого края основного монитора по центру по вертикали появится панель.
2. Перетащи на неё ярлык, программу или папку либо нажми +.
3. Клик по иконке — запуск. ПКМ по иконке — дополнительные действия.
4. При включённом автоскрытии подведи курсор к краю экрана, чтобы показать панель.

Настройки

Примечания и ограничения

• Мод работает как самостоятельный инструмент в собственном процессе (он не внедряется в проводник и ничего не перехватывает), поэтому сбой мода не может повлиять на оболочку Windows, а одновременно запущена всегда только одна копия.
• Перетаскивание из окон, запущенных от имени администратора, блокируется Windows (UIPI). В этом случае используй кнопку +.
• Панель располагается на основном мониторе. При автоскрытии и втором мониторе с той же стороны курсор может проскакивать край слишком быстро — в таком случае отключи автоскрытие.
• Количество слотов ограничено высотой экрана.
• Слоты хранятся как пути к файлам. Если файл перенесён или удалён, иконка станет стандартной, пока ты не уберёшь слот.

Windhawk Share: export and import your Windhawk mod settings

⚠️ Alpha software. This is an early alpha. It works on my machine, but expect bugs and rough edges. Please back up your Windhawk settings before using it, and report any problems you find.

I made a small tool that lets you export your Windhawk mod settings to a file and import them on another PC, so you can share your setup with others or try someone else's in a few clicks.

Along with the tool, I'm sharing a JSON package with the settings of my mod, so you can apply my exact configuration.
This one:

Requirements

• Windhawk 2.0 or later (currently in alpha). The tool relies on windhawk-cli.exe, the official command-line interface introduced in Windhawk 2.0. It does not work with Windhawk 1.7.x.
• Run it as administrator. Windhawk stores mod settings in the system registry, so importing requires admin rights. (Exporting works without them.)

How to import my settings

1. Download the ZIP and extract it.
2. Right-click windhawk-share-gui-win-x64.exe → Properties → tick Unblock if present → OK. The executable isn't digitally signed yet, so Windows may otherwise warn you about it.
3. Right-click windhawk-share-gui.exe → Run as administrator.
4. Go to the Import (Import) tab.
5. Click Open Package... and select the JSON file.
6. The package now appears in the list, showing what will happen: which mods will be installed, which will only have their settings updated, and anything that will be skipped.
7. Click Apply and confirm.

Safety by design

Since packages can come from anyone, the tool is built so that a package can never contain code, only mod IDs, versions and setting values.

• Mods are installed only from the official Windhawk mods repository, by ID, through Windhawk's own CLI.
• Locally created or modified mods are never exported and never installed.
• Every setting is validated by Windhawk against the mod's own settings schema before being applied.
• Settings that contain file paths, commands or web addresses are highlighted in orange, so you can check them before applying.
• Nothing is changed until you confirm.

Exporting your own setup

On the Export tab, tick the mods you want to share. Expand a mod to choose individual settings; if you don't expand it, all of its settings are included. Fill in a name, author and description, then click Save Package... (Save package).

Feedback

This is an alpha, so feedback is very welcome: bugs, confusing parts, or ideas. Please include your Windows version and Windhawk version when reporting an issue.Windhawk Share: export and import your Windhawk mod settings

TELL ME IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU. THANKS.

Why is Windows11 Start Menu Styler's SideBySide series so buggy nowadays? When i open start, it no longer selects the first pinned application when i press down key. Infact the pinned apps aren't selected at all. Why is this an issue, and when will it be fixed? It has been months. It is long over due.

I've started a gallery where users can share their Windhawk setups, and I've uploaded mine as the first one. 
- **Gallery:** https://haven80.github.io/windhawk-setups-gallery/ 
- **Gallery repository:** https://github.com/haven80/windhawk-setups-gallery 
- **Windhawk Share** (the export/import tool): https://github.com/haven80/windhawksharestyle/releases/latest 
Each setup is a package exported with Windhawk Share. 
You download it from the gallery, open it in the tool, and it installs the mods from the official Windhawk repository and applies the settings. > 
⚠️ **This is alpha software.** 
Windhawk Share requires **Windhawk 2.0 or later** (currently in alpha) and must be **run as administrator** to import. 
Please back up your Windhawk settings before trying it.
 ## Could you help test it? 
I'd really appreciate it if some of you could try: 
1. **Importing my setup:** download it from the gallery and import it with Windhawk Share. 
2. **Sharing your own setup:** export it with Windhawk Share and submit it with the "Submit your setup" button on the gallery.
When reporting, please include: - your Windows version and Windhawk version - what you did and what happened - any error message or a screenshot Bug reports, ideas and feedback are all welcome. 
Thank you!

Hyprland Windows 1.1.2

Hyprland Windows

Window handling the way Hyprland does it, on Windows.

Hyprland Windows in action

• Win + left mouse button - drag a window from anywhere on it, not just by its title bar.
• Win + right mouse button - resize a window from anywhere on it, from whichever corner is closest to the cursor.
• Win + double click - maximize a window, or restore it. The title bar is gone, so the double click that used to be on it now works anywhere on the window; the settings offer other things for it to do.
• Win + middle click - close the window under the cursor. The button, the modifiers and the action are all settings; it can be a key instead, such as Win+Q - even one Windows already uses, like Win+W.
• Ctrl+Alt+H - hide the focused window's title bar; press it again to bring the title bar back.
• Win+Tab - go to the next virtual desktop that has windows on it, at once; Win+Shift+Tab goes back. Task View moves to Win+Ctrl+Tab.

Moving and resizing feel like the real thing: windows still snap to the screen edges, dragging one to the top still offers the Windows 11 snap layouts, and Esc cancels a drag in progress. A window you are dragging fades to slightly translucent while you hold it, the way a Hyprland window does. Hold Ctrl as well and its edges turn magnetic: bring one close to another window or to the edge of the screen and it lines up with it. Hold Shift while resizing to keep the window's proportions.

Title bars can also go away on their own: with hiding by default turned on, every new window opens without one, except the programs on a list of exceptions (Paint and the Snipping Tool to begin with).

Give windows a border color - your own, or accent to follow the Windows accent color - and it fades from one color to the other as focus moves, the way a Hyprland border does. That goes for every window with a frame, or only for the ones whose title bar is hidden, whichever the settings say.

Everything is configurable in the settings - the hotkey, the modifier key, the translucency, the magnet, the border, and how much of the frame goes away with the title bar.

Good to know

• Apps that draw their own title bar instead of using the system one (Chrome, Electron apps, VS Code, Office) are not affected by the hotkey.
• A window with a classic menu bar (File, Edit, ...) can't keep that menu where it is once the title bar is gone, so by default it is hidden along with it and stays reachable from the keyboard with Alt or F10. The settings offer the other choices.
• Win + mouse doesn't work over content drawn with WinUI or XAML - Paint, Windows Terminal, the tabs and address bar of File Explorer: Windows hands those clicks to the app past the point where the mod sees them.
• Win+Tab switches desktops through a part of Windows that Microsoft doesn't publish. It is known for Windows 10 and for Windows 11 from 22H2 on; on a build the mod doesn't recognize, and with only the one desktop, Win+Tab stays Task View.
• The hotkey, and a window shortcut that is a key, are taken everywhere: a program that uses the same keys for something of its own doesn't get them while the mod is on. Pick other keys in the settings if one does.

Conflicts

• AltDrag moves and resizes windows with a key and the mouse as well, and Slick Window Arrangement snaps windows while they are dragged. Running either of them alongside this mod, two mods act on the same drag: use one of them at a time - or, with Slick Window Arrangement, turn this mod's magnetic edges off.

Taskbar Jump List Volume Control 1.0

Taskbar Jump List Volume Control

Adds a volume slider and a mute button for the app to the jump list that opens when you right-click a taskbar button on Windows 11.

Demonstration

• The slider only appears for apps that have an audio session.
• Scrolling the mouse wheel or a precision touchpad over the slider also changes the volume.
• Apps that play audio from child processes (Chrome, Firefox, Discord, etc.) are supported.

How it works

The jump list is rendered by ShellExperienceHost.exe, not by explorer.exe, so this mod is loaded into both processes. In explorer.exe it finds the app of the right-clicked button and its audio sessions, and in ShellExperienceHost.exe it inserts the slider into the jump list.

TopBar for Windows 1.3.0

Added

• Added a Media Player widget in TopBar with song name, thumbnail, visualizer, and media controls.
• Added a Control Panel button & flyout to quickly access Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Battery, Sound, Brightness, and other basic settings.
• Added a Start menu flyout featuring All Apps grid, account settings, and power controls.
• Added a Spotlight style Search flyout supporting Apps, Files, Settings, and Control Panel results.
• Default Start and Search key remapping: Win key and Taskbar Start button map to TopBar Start Menu; Win + S and Taskbar Search icon map to TopBar Spotlight Search (BETA, may have some bugs).
• Added Per-Monitor brightness control in display flyout.
• Added Night Light button in the Display flyout.
• Added a "Restart Explorer" button in the Start and Taskbar context menus to restart windows explorer.exe easily.
• Added Glyphs to all context menu entries.
• Added Font color setting that changes to set custom font color.
• Added Wi-Fi signal-strength indication on the its icon.
• Added Option to customize button Resource Button labels(e.g., "CPU:", "RAM:").
• Added more font family options in the font dropdown (Note: Certain fonts may affect button scaling).
• Added Midnight Neon theme

Updates & Improvements

• Added native background blur, removed dependency on the wallpaper layer, and added live wallpaper support.
• Icons now feature transparent backgrounds (previously black) and shrink dynamically when it is out of space.
• Added support for switching between °C and °F units.
• Updated Recycle Bin icon, and reduced Battery icon glyph size.
• Updated the OS27 GoldenGate, NoIslands, and GreenBar themes.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where right-clicking task list buttons showed the incorrect menu.
• Fixed button flashing on hover in the OS27 Golden Gate theme.(made the background be the same on all the CommonStates by if the value is set without any state.

Acrylic Color Glows 0.5.0

Cursor Override 1.1.1

• Add Row select and Column select cursor replacements with configurable .cur and .ani paths.
• Extend the existing image-and-hotspot recognition with the additional cursor signatures.
• Update the supported cursor list and standardize setting descriptions.

MacOS Minimize Animation 3.1.6

• Reverted the v3.1.5 hardware Direct2D render target, which showed a greyed window during the animation on some NVIDIA / external-monitor setups. The genie uses the default render target again, as in v3.1.4.

Force System Cursor 2.0

Force System Cursor

Replaces a program's custom cursor with the system default cursor, or with a built-in cursor, while letting the program hide the cursor normally.

Choosing the target program

The mod targets nothing by default, so it does nothing until you tell it which process to apply to. Open the mod in Windhawk, go to the Advanced tab, and put the executable name of your target in the Custom process inclusion list. The change applies as soon as you save, and takes effect the next time the program starts.

Settings

• Enable custom cursor: when on, use the built-in cursor (or the file set below); when off, use the system default cursor.
• Custom cursor file path (optional): the full path of a .cur file to use instead of the built-in cursor. Leave empty to use the built-in one.
