FluentFlyout introduces customizable media controls to Windows 11, filling gaps left by slow Microsoft updates. This third-party app offers users enhanced media interaction on their operating systems.
Features and Design
FluentFlyout enhances the existing Windows 11 media controls by adding features that integrate smoothly with the OS’s design. Users can press media keys such as play, pause, and volume to access these flyouts. Additional customization options include a seek bar, preview of upcoming media, and theme adjustments.
The app is free, with a premium option unlocking a taskbar widget. It can be downloaded directly or through alternative methods for full feature access.
Developer Solutions
As Microsoft gradually rolls out design updates for Windows 11, FluentFlyout exemplifies how independent developers address usability issues. Despite Microsoft's efforts, the community often steps in to create tools that enhance user experience.
The taskbar integration and aesthetic customization offered by FluentFlyout are particularly noteworthy, providing users with a more interactive and visually appealing media experience.
