Top 6 aero Open-Source Projects

• TranslucentTB

  92 14,504 9.0 C++

  A lightweight utility that makes the Windows taskbar translucent/transparent.

  

Project mention: I had to do it. | /r/pcmasterrace | 2023-06-02

Take a look at TranslucentTB. It makes your taskbar see through. Your icons are still there like normal, but the white bar itself is gone. This makes any desktop look way better imo.

• SmartSystemMenu

  2 1,711 5.3 C#

  SmartSystemMenu extends system menu of all windows in the system

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

• DWMBlurGlass

  2 1,265 8.9 C++

  Add custom effect to global system title bar, support win10 and win11.

Project mention: MicaForEveryone VS DWMBlurGlass - a user suggested alternative | libhunt.com/r/MicaForEveryone | 2024-03-14

It’s in my opinion a better alternative to MicaForEveryone. It is much more customizable and isn’t limited to display on 1 active window.

• aero

  12 1,088 8.9 Rust

  Aero is a new modern, experimental, UNIX-like operating system following the monolithic kernel design. Supporting modern PC features such as long mode, 5-level paging, and SMP (multicore), to name a few.

Project mention: Maestro: A Linux-compatible kernel in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-03

This feels like an ad; the blog post and the README feel like they were written to sound complicated and smart rather than tell the whole truth. Like, "On boot, the kernel has full access to the memory and is allowed to write where it should not (its own code, for example)"? Apart from the fact that ring 0 will always have full control, the MMU also exists. Also, the "48k" (the kernel has 34324 lines of non-comment code, the rest are in the other repos I assume) LOC are obvious when you consider code like src/syscall/mod.rs:717 is present.

To be fair, this is impressive, but its a basic monolithic kernel written for a school project, with the "twist" that it is in Rust and uses Linux syscalls.

For anyone who is interesting in more Rust UNIX-like kernels, Aero (https://github.com/Andy-Python-Programmer/aero) is farther ahead supports running quite a lot of recompiled Linux userspace, including dwm and WebKit.

• freeshooter

  1 169 7.7 C

  This is old-school tool for taking screenshots without bloatware features, simple as life, light as air (same as my other apps).

• Fuselage

  1 2 0.0 HTML

  Adds stock-a-like flat fuselage parts. These parts are rectangular fuselage pieces meant to be radially attached. For Kerbal Space Program.
