KeePass
A lightweight and easy-to-use password manager
KeePass Password Safe is a free, open source, lightweight, and easy-to-use password manager for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, with ports for Android, iPhone/iPad and other mobile devices. With so many passwords to remember and the need to vary passwords to protect your valuable data, it’s nice to have KeePass to manage your passwords in a secure way. KeePass puts all your passwords in a highly encrypted database and locks them with one master key or a key file. As a result, you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. And the databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known, AES and Twofish. See our features page for details. -

DWMBlurGlass
Add custom effect to global system title bar, support win10 and win11
DWMBlurGlass is a project/repository for Windows that aims to apply a “blur glass” aesthetic effect — i.e. translucent frosted-glass blur — to windows/desktop UI under the Desktop Window Manager (DWM). It is likely a small utility or library rather than a full game or engine, and caters to customizing the look and feel of windows for software that want a sleek transparent/blurred background aesthetic. Because its scope is narrowly defined — focusing on window rendering / UI effect — it is probably lightweight, easy to integrate in projects needing custom window decorations. This kind of project appeals to developers interested in customized UI, modded Windows applications, or aesthetic tweaks rather than full-blown applications or games. As with many small open-source utilities, using DWMBlurGlass involves incorporating its code or build into your own application so that windows render with blur/ glass-style background, giving a modern or stylized look. -

The project offers several effect modes, including Blur (Clear) and MicaAlt, with options to clear UI backgrounds such as scrollbars, toolbars, and the address bar. Installation is simple: download the release, extract the files, run the registration script, and restart Explorer. Users can fine-tune every visual parameter through a configuration file that adjusts colors, transparency, and UI behavior. Backed by C++, C, Python, and minhook, ExplorerBlurMica brings modern Windows design aesthetics to Explorer with a lightweight, modular approach. -

ModernFlyouts
Modern UI replacement for Windows flyouts with customizable features
ModernFlyouts is an open source application designed to replace the default Metro-style flyouts in Windows with a more modern, Fluent Design–based user interface. Instead of the old built-in popups for system feedback like volume, brightness, and airplane mode, ModernFlyouts temporarily intercepts those events and displays customizable flyouts that blend more seamlessly with recent Windows UI aesthetics. It extends beyond audio flyouts to cover media controls, brightness changes, airplane mode toggles, and even lock key indicators such as Caps Lock and Num Lock, offering a unified experience for all these system notifications. Users can adjust not just the look but the behavior of these flyouts (including layout, position, opacity, and animation) letting it feel more natural to individual preferences. The project’s roots trace back to AudioFlyout by ADeltaX, with further enhancements added by the community to support more flyout types and improved interaction. -
