Lightweight, offline, documents viewer (mainly PDF, PPT, Word)
QuickLook is pretty useful. It is basically the Windows Version of MAC's QuickLook.

File-Explorer that can display Readme.md files.
I've been using QuickLook for years, functions just like Preview in macOS (hitting the spacebar after selecting a file pops open a window with the content): https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook

Photoshop shows different colors and my gradients are ruined, all of this happened overnight. But everywhere else, the file preview's colors are correct. Do you know any reason? Is this related to the Pantone thing?
Why does the Quicklook app show the correct colors and photoshop doesn't?

Octos – HTML live wallpaper engine
I'm using Lively Wallpaper[0] to show an audio visualizer (trough CefSharp). The CPU load as shown in Task Manager is around 1.5-2% on my Ryzen 5800X. Therefore I tend to activate it only when I actually play some music and have it show.
