Windhawk is a free, open-source app that functions like an app store for Windows mods, allowing users to customize almost anything about their Windows experience easily.

Users can browse and install a variety of mods that range from visual tweaks, like changing the taskbar style, to functional changes, such as modifying taskbar volume controls or disabling grouping of taskbar icons.

Each mod includes a caution to review its source code on GitHub, ensuring users can make informed decisions before installing any customizations.

I don't understand your argument. Closed source is better?

No. Simply pointing out that urging users to audit the code is a lost cause; The vast majority of users won’t even know how to read the code, much less how to check for exploits or backdoors.

Yep, looks like code to me!
