Shape Your Windows Experience.
A lightweight, modern Windows 11 tweaker built with Go. Fast, open-source, and clutter-free.
WinShaper was born out of a desire for a cleaner Windows 11 experience without the overhead of heavy "optimizer" suites. It's a straightforward tool designed to put the most annoying Windows 11 UI choices back in your hands.
Built using Go and the Fyne toolkit, it offers a native-feeling interface to modify registry settings safely and instantly.
- Dark Mode: Toggle system-wide dark/light themes instantly.
- Classic Context Menu: Restore the Windows 10 style right-click menu (no more "Show more options" clicks).
- Custom Selection Color: Use the advanced color picker to change the default Windows highlight and tracking colors.
- Shortcut Arrows: Clean up your desktop by removing the arrow overlay from icons.
- Recycle Bin Management: Hide or show the Recycle Bin icon with a single check.
- File Visibility: Quickly toggle hidden files and file extensions without digging through folder options.
- Alignment Control: Easily switch between Centered and Left-aligned icons.
- Search Modes: Choose exactly how search appears—Hidden, Icon only, or the full Search Box.
- Task View Toggle: Remove the Task View button to save space.
- Seconds in Clock: Enable high-precision time by showing seconds in the system tray.
