  This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows

  There's also this one I found yesterday after realizing windows 11 won't let you move the taskbar position. It's called explorer patcher which lets you change the taskbar and file explorer, you can have the full options when right clicking things again, have older windows style stuff, remove rounded corners, move the windows start menu icon back to the left side, etc. Lots of different things.

  I have been using T-Clock for years, which can be configured to show the seconds right in the taskbar. Not sure if it works on Windows 11, but, it probably does (it works on Windows 10).
