Open Source Window Managers

SystemTrayMenu is an open source 'Desktop Toolbar' or 'Start Menu' alternative. It offers a clear, personalized menu which can be controlled via keyboard, mouse or touchscreen. Files, links and folders are organized in several levels as dropdown menus. Various options like appearance, hotkey, autostart and behavior can be adjusted. It is written in C# and using .NET 7. SystemTrayMenu is portable, so it does not need to be installed. After downloading the zip file, unzip the folder, then start SystemTrayMenu.exe. After starting the application the first time you have to choose the root directory. In this directory you should put shortcuts, files and folders (App, Game, Script, URL, Network), which you are often using and especially when you can not find them over the windows start menu search. You can also consider to put there all files from your desktop. If you have ideas, questions or a problem you can contact the developer Markus Hofknecht via GitHub or email.
