🛠️ Used

• Widgets using Rainmeter
• Taskbar and Start menu configured using Windhawk
• Explorer tweaked using Windows 11 File Explorer Styler
• Theme is Gruvbox by Niivu
• Icons: Night Owl Icon Pack
• Brave Browser with Fluidity Startpage
• Terminal: Fluent Terminal
• Reach me at: [email protected]

🚀 Installation

1. Requirements:

• Windows 10/11 (64-bit)

• Windhawk installed

  💡 Windhawk is completely safe to use because it only modifies running processes in memory (no permanent system changes), uses under <1MB RAM total for all mods, all mods are open-source for inspection, and any changes can be instantly reverted by disabling the mod.

---

2. Install Mods in Windhawk:

• Open Windhawk → Explore
• Install:
  • Taskbar Styler
  • Taskbar height and icon size
  • Taskbar Clock Customization
  • Start Menu Styler
  • Windows 11 Notification Center Styler
  • Windows 11 File Explorer Styler
  • UXTheme hook

---

3. Apply Custom Configurations:

⚠️ Important Note

For perfect visual match (1920×1080 screens as me):

• Apply these 3 mods together:

  • Taskbar Height and Icon Size
  • Taskbar Styler
  • Taskbar Clock Customization

• Use exact configs from this guide

• Restart Explorer if needed

  🔍 Modifying any values may break the layout

  💡 Note: For the best appearance i suggest you to enable auto hide taskbar
