Windows 10 and 11 have faced their share of criticism, particularly regarding their design aesthetics. Despite being labeled as “modern” operating systems, both versions often appear ensnared in a minimalist design philosophy that leans towards the uninspired. Users frequently find themselves confronted with flat icons and muted color palettes that evoke a sense of sterility rather than vibrancy. This has led many to reminisce about the more visually engaging interface of earlier systems like Windows 7, which offered a richer, more personalized experience.
Introducing Seelen UI
In response to this design dilemma, Seelen UI emerges as a compelling solution for Windows users seeking to enhance both personalization and productivity. This desktop customization tool is not only user-friendly but also packed with features that empower individuals to tailor their workspace to better reflect their unique style and workflow requirements.
Seelen UI enables users to modify various desktop elements, including menus and widgets, allowing for a workspace that is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. One of its standout features is the Tiling Windows Manager, which automatically organizes open windows, facilitating seamless multitasking and improved efficiency.
Moreover, the tool comes equipped with an integrated media module that supports most music players, enabling users to control playback—pause, resume, or skip tracks—without the need to navigate away from their current tasks. For those in search of quick access to applications, Seelen UI offers an app launcher inspired by Rofi, streamlining the process of launching apps and executing commands.
The intuitive interface of Seelen UI allows even the least tech-savvy users to customize themes, taskbar layouts, and icons effortlessly. With just a few clicks, anyone can transform their desktop into a personalized haven.
To run Seelen UI, users will need the WebView runtime, which is pre-installed on Windows 11 and included in the setup for Windows 10. Additionally, Microsoft Edge is required for optimal functionality. Installation options are varied, with the Microsoft Store being the preferred method, alongside alternatives such as Winget or the .msix installer for a portable version. An unsigned .exe installer is also available, though users should be aware that it may trigger antivirus alerts.
Recently, the software received an update aimed at resolving an issue related to an “infinite render loop on settings home page, fetching news.” For those interested in exploring Seelen UI further or downloading it, additional information can be found on its GitHub page.
