Awesome is the spiritual successor to WWING by Jon Seppanen. It aims to be a taskbar replacement/companion for windows for anyone.
- DesktopColors Mode - Will change bar colors to match your desktop color.
- DefaultColors Mode - Set it to Dark or Light mode, and awesome will only use the colors you have defined for this option
- Theming - Set sizes, Margins, Paddings, Colors and every aspect of the topbar with a simple config file.
Theming tool will come soon...
- TitleBarBlend Option - Bar background will assume the same color as the maximized window titlebar color.
- DefaultColors Option - Bar background will assume the colors defined by the user.
With window NOT maximized:
- DesktopColors Mode - Bar text and icons will assume the apropriate color theme (dark/light) based on the background colors.
- DefaultColors Mode - Bar will assume only assume the colors define by the user.
FocusMode can also be disabled, making the bar background never change.
- Fixed Mode - Reserves a space on the top of your screen for the bar, hides when fullscreen.
- AutoHide Mode - No space reserved, bar will hide itself after a couple of seconds, hover your cursor on the top of the screen to show it again.
Awesome supports WebNowPlaying and NowPlaying Plugins for rainmeter, making it capable of showing almost all modern websites and music players status.
You never need to click on anything to get the information you need. Simply hover your cursor on icons to display their widget, click to toggle and scroll to increase/decrease, simple as that ๐ค
I took care of measuring skin CPU usage during the entire development, every part of the skin only updates when needed making it Gaming friendly (yes, i have a bad pc ๐ )
Awesome variables can be backed up to your personal folder, making updates free from override problems.

FocusMode (Changing bar background when maximizing windows) doesn't work if the bar is set to autohide and the windows taskbar is also set to auto-hideApparently, windows doesn't report a window as maximized (GDIP.dll) when theres no APPBar limiting the window, this can be fixed by using a dock that reserves space, or, using the fixed mode.
Currently none, if you find one open an issue.
