What it is
ModernFlyouts (Preview) is a Windows utility created by Sam G. It replaces the small system popups you see for things like volume and brightness with a refreshed, modern interface designed to be cleaner and more functional.
How it works
Each popup (flyout) can be customized separately or turned off entirely, letting you pick exactly which replacements you want. When the modern flyout is active, the original Windows flyout is not deleted — it’s simply hidden — so you can switch between the default UI, the modern replacement, or disable both without losing the native behavior.
Controls and notifications supported
- Caps Lock indicator (Caps state)
- Numeric keypad lock (Num Lock)
- Scroll Lock key indicator
- Media playback/Now Playing controls
- Audio/volume popup
- Screen brightness control
- Insert vs. Overtype mode indicator
- Airplane/Flight mode notification
Status and recommendation
ModernFlyouts is currently offered as a preview release. It’s free to use and recommended for users who want a sleeker, more customizable set of system flyouts without permanently removing the original Windows popups.
