Ever wanted to have a menu bar like macOS or GNOME? Well, now you can! This is a attempt to replicate it in Windows with the use of the visual theming tool Rainmeter. This is a work in progress,and I'll be adding more features and functions as I go along.

Features

Visual - The menu bar is designed to look like the macOS menu bar, with the fluent effect and all.
Customizable - You can customize the menu bar to your liking, with the use of the settings file.
Easy to use - The menu bar is easy to use, with the use of the settings file.
Open Source - Edit the source and modify it to your liking.
Shortcuts - The menu bar has shortcuts to the most used apps and functions.
Network Activity - The menu bar has a network activity indicator with the connected network and also will display the bandwith speed while hovering over it.
Battery Indicator - Way better than Window's built-in icon with no info.
Media Controls - Can control Spotify's active media stream just from the flyout.
Ease of Access - Shortcut to take a screenshot/ screen record and a search button right in the corner to launch PowerToys' search.

FYI

Rainmeter is just an overlay so this implementation won't feel as native as other platforms but it's still a good one for those who like the visuals of it. Also switching between virtual desktops and task view screens will hide it but they're just system limitations with Rainmeter.
