Overview

Default Flyout:                 New Flyout:

This application will replace the default audio/airplane/brightness flyouts found in Windows shown when the volume or brightness changes or when airplane mode key is pressed with a new modern UI.

This project is based on ADeltaX/AudioFlyout. With additional implementation for airplane mode and brightness flyouts. This project also includes a flyout for lock keys (caps lock, scroll lock, num lock & insert key).

Note : The native flyout is not permanently closed but will be hidden when this flyout is shown Thus, users have the freedom to choose between the windows default one, this modern one or none.

See the Wiki page for additional infos

IMPORTANT NOTE

This project is made possible due to the work of ADeltaX. I could have improved the original project but the project is called AUDIOFlyout and adding airplane-mode/brightness flyouts wouldn't be a good idea, also the project has no recent activity. He's developing a AudioFlyoutv2 with a refreshed UI. So, I had to make my own with the said additional features.
