Pending Upstream PRs

Some features in this config depend on PRs that haven't been merged yet. The configs degrade gracefully — everything works on stock releases, you just won't see these extras until the PRs land:

Feature PR Fallback on stock release
GPU stats (temp, usage) glzr-io/zebar#257 GPU section hidden
CPU temperature glzr-io/zebar#257 Temp not shown, usage still works

To use these features before the PRs are merged, build Zebar from the PR branch and replace the binary at C:\Program Files\glzr.io\Zebar\zebar.exe.

Manual Steps

These can't be fully automated and need to be done once after running the scripts:

Font

Download and install JetBrainsMono Nerd Font from nerdfonts.com. Right-click the .ttf files and select "Install for all users".

Windhawk Mods

Install these mods from the Windhawk GUI after installing Windhawk:

  1. Windows 11 Start Menu Styler — select the "TranslucentStartMenu" theme
  2. Taskbar height and transparency (by m417z) — set taskbar opacity to 0

LibreHardwareMonitor

Required for CPU temperature in the Zebar status bar. After installing, launch it as administrator and enable:

  • Options > Remote Web Server > Run
  • Options > Run On Windows Startup
  • Options > Start Minimized

PowerToys

Optionally install PowerToys (winget install Microsoft.PowerToys) and set the PowerToys Run hotkey to Alt+` in settings.

Taskbar

Go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and enable Automatically hide the taskbar.

Wallpaper

Install Wallpaper Engine from Steam for animated wallpapers. The startup script creates a shortcut so it launches silently on boot.
