What is it?

FluentFlyout is a Windows app that replaces the default system flyouts with modern, Fluent 2 styled popups. It shows the cover, title and artist of the currently playing media, along with playback controls, and can display an "Up Next" flyout when a song ends. A separate flyout reports the status of Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock at a glance.

Beyond the flyouts, it offers a taskbar widget that shows media information directly on the Windows taskbar. The interface uses Mica blur, follows light or dark mode, matches the system accent colour and includes adjustable flyout positions. The app sits in the system tray and is available from the Microsoft Store or as a manual installer from GitHub Releases.

The project is written in C# and built on WPF with the WPF-UI and MicaWPF libraries. It is licensed under GPL-3.0 and accepts community contributions and translations.
