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. -

Monitorian
A Windows tool to easily adjust brightness of multiple monitors
Monitorian is a desktop utility designed for Windows that gives users a simple and centralized way to control the brightness (and optionally contrast) of multiple displays from one place. It supports both built-in laptop screens and external monitors, allowing adjustments either on a per-monitor basis or all together at once, making it especially useful for multi-monitor setups. The app displays sliders for each connected monitor, and on systems with ambient light sensors it can show both the configured brightness and the sensor-adjusted brightness to help you fine-tune lighting according to your environment. Monitorian also lets you adjust the range of brightness and contrast values for each monitor so you can set custom limits that better match your preferences. Usability features include gesture support on precision touchpads and easy renaming of monitors to keep them organized in the UI. Its interface sits in the system tray for quick access. -

LXGW WenKai
An open-source Chinese font derived from Fontworks' Klee One
An open-source Chinese font derived from Fontworks' Klee One. In December 2020, the famous Japanese font manufacturer FONTWORKS released 7 open source Japanese fonts on GitHub , namely Train, Klee, Stick, Rock-n-Roll, Reggae, Rampart and DotGothic16. The seven open-source Japanese fonts have their own characteristics, and among these seven fonts, Klee has the largest number of characters. This is a Japanese textbook style font, which has the characteristics of imitating Song and italics, and is highly readable. Some DIY font enthusiasts have used imitation Song and other fonts to complete this font successively. As a beautifying font for mobile phone systems, it has been transplanted into mobile phone systems such as iOS and Android, and has been welcomed by many computer friends. However, such a completed font has some shortcomings. First , there is a certain difference between the original font and the supplemented font, which causes some different characters. -

DSE-Patcher
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement with DSE-Patcher
Driver Signature Enforcement (DSE) was introduced by Microsoft starting with Windows Vista x64. DSE is a security feature of the operating system, which ensures that only valid signed drivers are loaded. To install unsigned drivers the DSE security feature has to be disabled. DSE-Patcher can be used to disable DSE on all 64-bit operating systems starting with Windows Vista and later. We developed DSE-Patcher to show the interested coder how easy it is to use known vulnerabilities and change memory in kernel address space. -

Remix OS
Remix OS for PC is a productivity focused, desktop version of Android.
Given its lightweight size and system requirements, Remix OS for PC is well suited to be installed on a USB drive (8GB+) and used as a portable workspace securely containing the user’s documents and apps. This particular use case has significant advantages for users within emerging markets where shared PCs are more common. A key feature of Remix OS for PC is multiple window support, and this has been vastly improved in the migration to Marshmallow. Significant examples include: ● New button has been implemented that resizes a window to fit specifically to the app’s content - ensuring optimal layout is maintained ● Video-based apps now open up in full-screen when you maximize the video rather than staying in a small framed window ● Resizing windows manually can now be initiated anywhere along the edge of the window (other than the top edge), rather than just on the bottom right corner -

RoundedTB
Windows taskbar customizer with rounded corners and margin controls
RoundedTB is a lightweight Windows utility focused on visually enhancing the default taskbar by applying smoother shapes and layout customizations that the native system doesn’t offer. At its core, the tool enables users to round the normally sharp corners of the taskbar, giving desktops a softer, more modern aesthetic that aligns with contemporary design trends. Beyond corner shaping, RoundedTB allows adjustment of margins and spacing, creating a floating effect or room between the taskbar and screen edges for users who want a cleaner and less cluttered workspace. This flexibility extends to segmenting the taskbar into distinct areas or profiles, which can help with organization and visual hierarchy across different workflows. The application integrates with Windows 10 and Windows 11’s taskbar behaviors without modifying core system files, ensuring stability and preserving native functionality while still offering powerful personalization. -
