Customizing Windows 10 (Docks, Icon Packs, Mouse Cursor and Widgets)

in the last few months, many people asked me 'what app dock I'm using?', 'what icon pack I'm using?' on my windows machine, so I decided to create this post about How You Can Customize Windows 10.

but keep in mind before making any of these changes, create a system restore point!

Personalize :

● Right Click on Desktop > View > Uncheck "Show Desktop Icons"

● Right Click on Desktop > Personalize : 

● In Colors Menu, Choose Your Color : Dark & Windows Color : Mint Light (bcz my icon pack has the same color, you can choose whatever color you want)

● In Start Menu, Turn on 'Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode'

Icon Pack :

To change the system icons, i'm using "WinRemix" Icon Pack & For Dock, I'm using Numix Circle Icon Pack. You can download it from here :

if you want to change only the local drive's icon you can also use Drive Icon Changer.

Docks : 

I'm using Nexus Dock. Download and Install Nexus Dock and customize dock (icon size and effects) and set position to bottom center or wherever you like.

Nexus Preferences :

● Right Click on any Dock Icon > Nexus > Preferences

Changing Icons in Nexus Dock :

● Right Click on Icon > Dock Entry Properties

● Click on 'Change Icon'

● Click on 'Browse'

● Go to Numix Icon Pack Directory and Choose Icon

● Ok !!

● Nexus (Winstep) : https://winstep.net/nexus.asp (Recommended)

● Rocket Dock : https://filehippo.com/download_rocketdock/ (Alternative Option)

Mouse Cursor : 

These are one of my most favorite Mouse Cursors..

● DIM v3.2 - NitroGreen (Free) : DeviantArt (Recommended)

● DIM v3.2 - InfraRed (Free) : DeviantArt

● DIM v3.2 - TechnoBlue (Free) : DeviantArt (Recommended)

● DIM - Prismatic (Set Exclusive) (Paid) : DeviantArt  

● Night Diamond v3.0 (Free) : DeviantArt 

● Night Diamond v3.0 (Spectrum Set) (Paid) : DeviantArt 

In case you don’t know, you can change mouse cursor from Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers > Browse and select the cursor file. Also, if the cursor pack includes a .INF file then you can install it by right-clicking on the .INF file and select install.

Widget :

For Widgets I use Rainmeter, it provides you access to hundreds of community-created skins.

● Skins : RainmeterHub, DeviantArt, VisualSkins

Wallpaper : 

put whatever wallpaper you like on your desktop and lock screen. Here are some of my favorite wallpapers : Google Drive

Terminal :

Configurable Terminal Emulator for Windows.
