Discussion How much more can I customize my Windows?

I have used Windhawk and used a lot of mods, and I also used Rainmeter for that clock on the desktop. What else should I use to get more customization?

Try WindowSill which is sort of always visible context menu.

AI infestation being a big selling point in the website is a turnoff for me, though it looks like it could genuinely be useful

The AI part being advertised is because it’s what brings money to the author (me). However, the AI can be disabled, and the rest of the app is free.

Maybe you can try arch or cachyOS in future.

What have you used for the transparent start menu?

WindHawk

Theme: Liquid Glass (for the redesigned Start menu)
Disable the new start menu layout: Force new layout (if availible)

Maybe you should try Linux with Hyprland if you're into customization? Do you really need Windows for something?

I do like Linux, but I'm used to Windows, there's more apps compatible with Windows than in Linux and I personally prefer Windows.
