Some tools and files I use for making Windows 11 look my way.

AtlasOS

I use AtlasOS to make Windows more performant, usable, and privacy-friendly. You can download it here.

Custom cursor

I use a custom cursor from this repository.

1. Download the repository.
2. Install with Install.inf. (Right-click on Install.inf and click Install)
3. Go to Settings > Devices > Mouse > Additional mouse options > Pointers > Browse and select the cursor you want.

I use the one with the shadow.

Taskbar

I use TranslucentTB to make the taskbar transparent. You can download it here.

Windows Manager

I use FancyZones from PowerToys to manage windows.

1. Download PowerToys from the releases page.
2. Install PowerToys.
3. Open PowerToys and go to FancyZones.
4. Create a custom layout and apply it.

• With that when I drag a window and click on Shift, I can snap it to the zones.

Search

I use PowerToys Run from PowerToys to search for apps, files, and more.

Terminal

I use WizTerm. You can download it here.

To configure WizTerm:

1. Copy the content only of terminal folder to your home directory. (C:\Users\your-username)
2. Simply run the terminal and it will automatically load the configuration.

Oh My Posh (nice terminal)

I use Oh My Posh to make the terminal look better. You can download it here.

To configure Oh My Posh:

1. Install Oh My Posh. (You can install it with the following command)

winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

2. Copy the content of oh-my-posh folder to your home directory. (C:\Users\your-username)
3. Open WizTerm and run the following command to create the profile.

New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force

4. Open the profile with Notepad.

notepad $PROFILE

5. Add the following lines to the profile.

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config ~/zonny.omp.json | Invoke-Expression

6. Save the profile and restart the terminal.

Compatibility

Oh My Posh works well with WizTerm but it may not work with other terminals. On the windows terminal or vscode its not working for me, here is how you can configure it:

1. Download the font MesloLGM Nerd Font.

2. Search for Meslo.zip and download it.

3. Extract the zip and install the font.

4. Open the windows terminal with administrator privileges.

5. press CTRL + SHIFT + , to open the settings.

6. Add/edit the following lines to the settings.

"defaults": {
    "font":
    {
        "face": "MesloLGM Nerd Font"
    }
},

7. Save the settings and restart the terminal.
8. For vscode, modify the settings, search for @feature:terminal font and set it to MesloLGM Nerd Font.

Now you should see the nice terminal.

Wallpaper

I use Wallpaper Engine to set a live wallpaper. You can download it here.

Here is the wallpaper on the screenshot: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2406282996
