Installation
> [!CAUTION]
> Seelen UI requires the WebView runtime to be installed. On Windows 11, it comes pre-installed with the system.
> However, on Windows 10, the WebView runtime is included with the setup.exe installer. Additionally, Microsoft Edge
> is necessary to function correctly. Some users may have modified their system and removed Edge, so please ensure both
> Edge and the WebView runtime are installed on your system.
> [!NOTE]
> On fresh installations of Windows, the app might show a white or dark screen. You only need to update your Windows
> through Windows Update and restart your PC.
You can choose from different installation options based on your preference:
Microsoft Store (recommended)
Download the latest version from the Store page.
This is the recommended option because you will receive updates and a secure version of the program.
Note: It may take around 1 to 3 business days for changes to be reflected in the Microsoft Store, as updates are
approved by real people in the store.
Winget
Install the latest version using:
winget install --id Seelen.SeelenUI
This option also uses the signed .msix package and ensures you have the latest secure version. Similar to the
Microsoft Store, it may take around 1 to 3 business days for changes to be reflected in Winget, as updates are approved
by real people in the winget-pkg project.
.msix Installer
Download the .msix installer from the Releases page. This package is
signed, ensuring a secure installation. This is the same option as the Microsoft Store but is a portable installer.
.exe Installer
Download the latest version from the Releases page and run the
setup.exe installer. This option is less recommended as the installer is not signed, which may cause it to be flagged
as a potential threat by some antivirus programs. The setup.exe is updated more quickly than the Microsoft Store or
Winget versions and also it receives notifications updates on new release.
Usage
Once installed or extracted, simply open the program. The easy-to-use and intuitive GUI will guide you through the
configuration process. Customize your desktop environment effortlessly.

Upcoming Features
I’m excited to share some upcoming features for Seelen UI! Here’s a glimpse of what’s planned for the future:
App Launcher ✅
I’m planning to develop an app launcher inspired by Rofi on Linux. This feature
will provide a sleek and highly customizable way to quickly access your applications.
I aim to introduce a set of fully customizable popup widgets, similar to the features available in
EWW. These widgets will be highly configurable and adaptable to your needs, providing
an enhanced and interactive way to manage your desktop environment.
An upgraded Alt + Tab system for task switching is on the horizon. This will offer a more visually appealing and
functional experience, allowing for smoother transitions between open applications and windows.
Custom Virtual Desktops Viewer and Animations
I’m also working on a custom virtual desktops viewer and dynamic animations to improve navigation between different
workspaces. This will provide a more intuitive and immersive multitasking experience.
Stay tuned for more updates as I develop these features. I appreciate your support and enthusiasm!
