Apps

1. Auto Dark Mode – you can set a switch between light/dark mode (both Windows Theme and Apps) including different wallpapers and all of this based on sunrise/sunset.
2. Files2Folder – it is so convenient to select all of your files you saved during work on the desktop and pack it up with a click in a folder, move somewhere else and be happy with your tidy front space.
3. ModernFlyouts – it looks neat.
4. PowerToys – you get Alt + Space functionality as PowerToys Run, Win + Shift + C Color Picker, Windows Shortcut Guide and many more.
5. QuickLook – when you need just a quick preview of any kind of file, you just press Space and there it is.
6. RoundedTB – I like the way my taskbar looks with it. I set mine to 0 Margin and 15 Corner radius.
7. WinXCorners – I really like Hot Corners, just saves time. I don't want to find an open window among many opened eventually, I want to find it immediately.
8. T-Clock – it gives you all the info you need about date & time. I set custom format dde d mme, HH:nn and Segoe UI Semibold 9 font goes nice with the overall look. The app also gives you an option to set transparency to the taskbar (which I set to 20%) and many more (which I don't use).
9. sTray – you get quick actions menu (like Sleep, Restart, Shutdown and more) right in the taskbar.
10. The Dock – First, I set up RocketDock with RocketDock Big Sur Skin, then ObjectDock, but finally I chose Winstep Nexus with a built-in Windows 10Nx theme (20% transparency), because I missed some of the features. It's awesome because it's highly customizable. There are previews of currently running apps and/or minimized apps (set however you like), and you can use docklets like calendar, battery, trash, start menu, weather and more. I packed my backup file, icons I made and a light theme, all you have to do is copy/paste to the corresponding folders in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Winstep.

More

• Dock Icons – I made them myself with PSD template provided by macosicons.com. I changed the shape and I used the newest pack of Windows icons founded here and here.
• Wallpapers – Found sth interesting here for Windows and my iMac, but then I made those you see on the screenshots. Blue, Grey, Black
• sTray Icons – First, put sTray app in a folder on C Drive and when you run it, it will make another folder with icons. You can change them via copy/paste. Here's mine. I changed the main icon with Resource Hacker. The app icon black and white because I have two instances of sTray. See INFO3.
• Windows Settings – I disabled Auto arrange icons and Align icons to grid on the desktop; Taskbar at the top and "Use small taskbar buttons" checked. That's all. No big changes.

What's left to do?

1. Set up automatic color change for the taskbar's T-Clock date & time.
2. Set up automatic theme & icon change for the Nexus dock (maybe based on the color of the taskbar, or sunrise/sunset).
3. Set up automatic icon change for the sTray app. INFO: Currently I have TinyTask to do the job. I made two .exe files (Playback speed 4x) with light/dark mode and set up two basic tasks in Task Scheduler in Auto Dark Mode folder (ADM), so they run with sunrise/sunset, but it isn't the perfect solution.
4. New icons for Calendar, Weather and Battery docklets. If I will ever use them.
5. Custom spacing for dock separators. No can do. Found out it's buried deep down in the software's code.
6. Force taskbar not to show opened apps' icons. I actually don't mind.
