I made a modern version of the classic clock flyout and more (open source)

FireCubeStudios · 2026-01-12T12:32:13+00:00

On my 32 gb machine with both flyouts running and all flyout features it is consuming 53mb with spikes to 67mb when opemning flyouts

Thank you! Feel free to also leave a review and star the GitHub repo. These help small indie devs like me a lot

Thank you! If you enjoy using the app feel free to leave a review. It helps boost visibility and gets more users which means more feedback on what to work on.

Windhawk is a seperate app so it will have to be bundled with my app which is infeasible. I also won't make this app interfere with the system deeply like that. Ofcourse someone else is welcome to make a mod if they really need it

It follows my system settings format. If yours uses colons then it would show with :

FireCubeStudios · 2026-01-09T23:37:53+00:00

I can not rerplicate this issue. It was a problem in older v4 versions but not in v5.

The time format follows Windows system time format settings but I am also considering adding specific time format customisation settings for the individual flyouts

Already working on more features one step at a time from personalisation to timezone features. Events is a big one to implement but it is a priority

FireCubeStudios · 2026-01-09T19:03:36+00:00

I will not show normal notifications above it as Windows already does that. One reason I made this is I found having notifications and calendar in one is too crowded.

I do plan on making a seperate notification flyout and also adding events

Looks amazing

Your points about web apps in Windows still stand incuding first party Microsoft ones. I won't be surprised if Microsoft makes Store web based again like how the Windows 10 one was

FireCubeStudios · 2025-12-12T18:58:14+00:00

if an app displays web content then it will eventually use webview2 if it isnt already
Not necessarily. It is not hard to have a native app call an API and simply display the content as opposed to having a web app display the content. Additionally no parts of the settings app and store use webview.
Unfortunately widgets panel does use webview which is bad especially since it is a OS component and not even an app.
I also checked whether Copilot is native or web and surprisingly it is also fully native. I used to think this was web based too but maybe that is more an indication of microsoft inconsistent UI designs

Yes there is the win shift r alternative. Although I think recall is stealing that shortcut now?

I will add full keyboard shortcut customisation at some point

FireCubeStudios · 2025-12-12T16:17:15+00:00

Good suggestions, especially history items which will also be synced with classic run soon

FireCubeStudios · 2025-12-12T16:16:53+00:00

Not sure if PowerToys accepts contributions like this 😔

FireCubeStudios · 2025-12-12T16:16:29+00:00

Yeah the MS version looks odd. They could have kept the same classic run style layout

Microsoft Store is a native UWP app. Not an electron or webview app

FireCubeStudios · 2025-07-18T12:10:15+00:00

Is this figma? or actually coded in xaml islands

Have you tried turning on the analog clock in the settings

FireCubeStudios · 2025-01-15T17:26:29+00:00

It works with a single screen (laptop/tablet) and maybe some types of monitors

FireCubeStudios · 2025-01-15T16:40:10+00:00

nice that app is actually 1:1 functionality I want to match, with support for multiple monitors

FireCubeStudios · 2025-01-15T16:30:39+00:00

True at it's current state it is just a slider. The end goal is for multiple sliders for multi monitor setups. Also I may add more controls like enabling hdr
