Let's find out which of the best
free apps for customizing Windows 11 are available.
Although Windows 11 is not a system that is
very open to modifications (due to its closed nature), numerous third-party
apps are available that can modify the appearance of the system, thus solving
some usability problems and giving that personal touch that helps always those
who want a highly personalized and optimized computer for work, study or gaming.
In the following guide we will show you the best apps to best customize Windows 11 , giving
priority to applications available for free , so you can change
the appearance of the system without spending a euro.
1) StartAllBack
One of the best apps for customizing Windows 11 is StartAllBack ,
designed to change the PC's Start button but which also offers changes for the
taskbar and other bar elements.
When the application starts we will be able to choose whether to
use the Vero 11 style (which moves all the icons to the left and
slightly modifies the graphics), Quasi 10 (follows the style
of Windows 10) and Windows 7 revisited (follows the style of Windows 7 with
added graphic effects).
2) RoundedTB
Another very interesting app for customizing Windows 11 is RoundedTB ,
which can recreate the Mac Dock bar on Windows too.
After installing the app, simply choose the size of the borders
and activate the Dynamic mode to obtain the central bar
effect. This app also adds access to Task Manager by
simply right-clicking on the bar (exactly as happened until Windows 10).
3)
Windows 11 Classic Context Menu
Virtually
no one liked the new right-click context menu, as it makes it very inconvenient
to open app entries and create new shortcuts.
To restore the classic Windows
context menu, simply download the Windows 11 Classic Context Menu app , which quickly makes the
change to the system to force the classic menu we were used to on Windows 10.
4) App
Files
The
latest Windows 11 updates have also introduced a new, revised File
Manager; Even this change may not please everyone, especially the changes
made to the left sidebar.
For
those who are not happy with it, it may be a good idea to download the Files App manager,
which completely replaces the Microsoft file manager by introducing the
possibility of modifying the appearance, so as to restore a style close to that
of Windows 10 or Windows 7 .
5)
ElevenClock
Among
the apps that we will particularly appreciate we find ElevenClock ,
capable of applying profound changes to the clock present in the lower right
corner of the taskbar.
With
this app we can add seconds, change how the date appears, add the name of the
day of the week and even customize the font and color of the clock ,
so as to adapt to the style of our PC or our wallpaper.
6) Live
Wallpaper
If
we aren't passionate about static Windows wallpapers, we can try the Lively Wallpaper app
, one of the best apps available on the Microsoft Store.
Using
this app we will be able to add dynamic wallpapers to Windows ,
thus giving a personal touch: for example we can add falling rain, sunset or
sunrise or other spectacular scenes that will repeat on our desktop.
7)
BeWidgets
With the BeWidgets app ,
Windows 11 widgets come to "life", leaving the section of the bar
reserved by Microsoft.
With this app we will have real widgets on the desktop ,
to be positioned freely and resized according to our tastes and needs. To
learn more we can read our guide to the best widgets for the Windows desktop with information and
buttons .
Conclusions
With these apps we will be able to make Windows 11 truly unique ,
correcting Microsoft's incomprehensible choices and restoring most of the
functions that we were used to using up until Windows 11.
Also very interesting are the apps that add dynamic wallpapers and change the system clock , without forgetting the app that adds real widgets to the screen.
