Windhawk is a free, open-source app that functions like an app store for Windows mods, allowing users to customize almost anything about their Windows experience easily.

Users can browse and install a variety of mods that range from visual tweaks, like changing the taskbar style, to functional changes, such as modifying taskbar volume controls or disabling grouping of taskbar icons.

Each mod includes a caution to review its source code on GitHub, ensuring users can make informed decisions before installing any customizations.

I've been using it for a few months and it's been great, but I just found out that by default it injects itself into all processes and it gave me the ick (for example if you use Firefox you can see in about:third-party)

The explanation provided seems kinda logical but I don't know if it's legit or not

It actually injected itself into my OneNote and killed it. Took a long time to track that one down.
