Glassline

A menu bar, a dock and Search for Windows 11.

A dock that feels right.

Pinned apps and open windows, with a dot under the ones running. It magnifies under the pointer, opens Downloads and the Recycle Bin as stacks, and bounces an app while it starts.

Maximize a window. Watch the bar.

The menu bar takes the colour of the window under it, so the app seems to fill the screen. The dock slides away to give it the room, and comes back when you move to the bottom edge.

Quit, and Windows is back.

Right-click the menu bar and choose Quit Glassline. The taskbar and Start menu return exactly as they were. If Glassline ever closes unexpectedly, they come back on their own.
