Customization on Windows is good with themes and all, but I was curious to see what programs people use to add to the Windows shell, instead of replacing or theming it.
I use Smart Taskbar, Windows Caffeinated and Windows Toolkit that all add icons to the system tray, in the same style, that do the following:
— Smart Taskbar: Clicking the icon will hide the taskbar automatically, and can be set to show the taskbar when an app is windowed, but hide when maximized.
— Windows Caffeinated: Keeps your PC from sleeping. You can use PowerAwake with MSPowerToys, but I don't like the icon.
— Desktop Toolkit: A Swiss army knife of utilities. It's hard to describe but, it has pinned apps, custom folder pins, timers, screen recording, color picker, recent files, etc. I like to pin custom PowerShell scripts here.
— Toggle Desktop Icons: This app lets you double-click the desktop to hide icons, and adds a system tray icon. It's similar to HiddenMe on macOS.
I hope this leads to a great discussion and sharing of information!
OneClickFirewall is the shit. I love that thing so much. Right click and instantly add a rule to the windows firewall to keep something from calling home. https://winaero.com/oneclickfirewall/
I'm also a big of of File Converter which gives some right click conversion options for images and such. https://github.com/Tichau/FileConverter/?from=about
Does it add a block / unblock to the context menu?
Downloading file converter! What do you use the firewall on? Can’t think of a usecase
You know just things downloaded.... from the internets....
So every video file and program you download you do it?
arrrrrrrr
