  This project aims to enhance the working environment on Windows

The Windows 11 taskbar uses the XAML Islands feature which allows non-UWP desktop apps to host UWP controls. I had no prior experience with UWP (Universal Windows Platform) when I started looking into adding labels to the Windows 11 taskbar. To get myself familiar with it, I downloaded an example project, compiled it, disassembled it, checked how code changes affect the assembly, etc. While doing all sorts of experiments and searching for code online, I stumbled upon the source code of ExplorerPatcher by /u/vali20. ExplorerPatcher does some UWP customization and serves as a great example. The code comments also mention a helpful Reddit post by /u/henrik_z4:
