If you want updated code

You can clone "personal" branch for development. I will not update main branch because i've made enough personal changes that it won't fit general usage.

https://github.com/Far-Se/tabame/tree/personal

To clone:

git clone -b personal git@github.com:Far-Se/tabame.git

If you do not have ATL on Visual Studio, open Visual Studio Installer, press on Modify for VS 2019, go to Individual components, search for ATL and install last version for your processor architecture.

🤔 What is this app about?

Main purpose of this app is to be a replacement for the Taskbar, but in meanwhile I've added more features that can come in handy sometimes. It's not about the 30px you add on your screen, but to limit distraction that comes from flashes, badges, notifications and other apps Microsoft forcefully tries to push to their users.

Best way to use:

• You can bind the QuickMenu on:
• Mouse Side buttons, most mouses have them.
• Any extra mouse button. Open your mouse software, bind it to something like CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F9 then focus Tabame and press the button on field above.
• If you do not have any extra buttons on your mouse, you can bind it to something simple like Shift+Win+A, it's easy for the fingers.

Please submit a issue here, it will be very helpful. On my Computer it works, but each PC can be different.

Please also provide errors.log file. You can find it here: %localappdata%/Tabame. Open File Explorer and paste that in Address Bar.

Thanks to @elvinvandalen for helping me fix a bug where the app crashed on start because AudioPropertyStore was bugged for some users.

Known Issue: for a small amount of users Audio Module makes the app crash, if you experience crash on startup and still want to use Tabame, open folder %localappdata%/Tabame and create a file called disable_audio.txt then start Tabame again.

Make your own:

This project is open source, which means you can compile your own version.

1. Install Flutter for Windows
2. Open Visual Studio Installer, on Individual Components select ATL Dependencies and install.
3. Open a console in Tabame folder and type flutter build windows
4. The exe is in build\windows\runner\Release
5. You can open vsCode and debug the app.

You can show QuickMenu at Taskbar Level or TopBar Level. You can order windows by monitor, activity, or only current monitor.

You can rewrite app titles using regex, example:

Bottom Bar

Main elements of bottom bar are the time and the weather. It also shows:

Tray icons

It shows a list of existing tray icons. You can hide/pin icons from settings. You can simulate click on the icon, or open icon's executable. Some apps do not listen to native clicks so you can set the second option!

PowerShell Scripts

You can pin PowerShell scripts for easy access, either write the code directly or make a .ps1 file and then set as command Invoke-Item path\to\script.ps1

System Information

Your CPU and RAM usage.

You can move pinned apps and tray icons on the same level at the bottom if the UI becomes too crowded.

You can change the icon and add a splash image above the menu if you brand it as your own or to add your company logo.

🎚️ QuickRun

QuickRun can be launched directly from QuickMenu, just start typing. You can also set a hotkey to open it specifically.
