Overview 👀

Default Flyout | ModernFlyouts

Overview

This application aims to provide a Fluent Design System based replacement for the old, built-in, Metro Design based Audio/Airplane mode/Brightness flyouts in Windows (which haven't been updated since Windows 8) which are shown while pressing the media or volume keys or even the brightness keys (may be absent on Desktop PCs) or when airplane/flight mode is toggled.

In case of Windows 11, this application will have the same UI but will provide additional features and customizability compared to the built-in redesigned flyouts.

This project has its roots in the app AudioFlyout by ADeltaX. With additional implementations for "Airplane mode", "Brightness" and "LockKeys" (includes Insert key, Caps, Num & Scroll lock keys) flyouts, this project stands as a complete replacement for the built-in flyouts.

Note : The built-in flyout will not be permanently affected. It will be hidden temporarily while this application is running. So, no reason to fear breaking your system. For more information on how to recover the original flyouts, check out this How To page.

Users are provided the freedom to choose between the Windows built-in flyouts or modern flyouts from ModernFlyouts or neither of them.

It is impossible to have a flyout for the keyboard backlight brightness or the function (Fn) key because they are not passed as keys but as hardware signals (which the OEMs decide). Any OS can receive those signals if they have the required driver.

Please check out the Wiki for additional information, guides and how-tos.

Please check out this document for support regarding your media player/browser.

NOTES 🗒️

Credits

As taken from the original ModernFlyouts repository:

First of all, we must thank our good friend ADeltaX for one of his marvelous works AudioFlyout. Since the project was stale for a while and it lacked support for brightness and airplane mode flyouts, this project was born. He not only let us use his source code but also helped us improve this app. And he still supports us 😄. I must admit that this project wouldn't be here how it is without ADeltaX. Our heartful thanks to him ❤.

We must also say a big thanks to our contributors for helping us with some important bug fixes, adding features and localization.
