Rather than tutorials to create [what you're actually looking for](https://www.deviantart.com/tag/windows10themes).\n\nWebtop has advantages over these problems.\n\n - Since both Webtop and the desktop modules are created using NodeJS and Electron, programatical functionality can be added easily.\n - **[Planned Feature]** You can set a different desktop for each monitor.\n - It's very easy to install new desktops. Just drag them into your [desktops](https://github.com/KyzaGitHub/Webtop/tree/master/desktops) folder, change the desktop setting in your `config.json` file (`config.json` hasn't been implemented yet, change [this line](https://github.com/KyzaGitHub/Webtop/blob/7a18466b66af857908a98b0a7c5827696cda4c1a/index.js#L38) to point to the folder instead), and restart Webtop.\n\n# How do I make one?\n\nThere is no documentation yet.\n\nTake a look at the [AnimeJS](https://github.com/KyzaGitHub/Webtop/tree/master/desktops/AnimeJS) example desktop.\n\nChange [this line](https://github.com/KyzaGitHub/Webtop/blob/7a18466b66af857908a98b0a7c5827696cda4c1a/index.js#L38) to point to the folder inside of [desktops](https://github.com/KyzaGitHub/Webtop/tree/master/desktops) that contains your desktop so that Webtop will load it.\n\n# How do I run it?\n\nGit and NodeJS are required to run Webtop.\n\nDownload/update Webtop.\n\n```ruby\ngit clone https://github.com/KyzaGitHub/Webtop.git\n```\n\nAs a first time setup for whenever you update Webtop, install the required `npm` packages.\n\n```ruby\nnpm i\n```\n\nYou are now ready to run Webtop.\n\n```ruby\nnpm start --verbose\n```\n\nProvided that you haven't changed anything, this will run the [AnimeJS](https://github.com/KyzaGitHub/Webtop/tree/master/desktops/AnimeJS) example desktop on your primary monitor. \n\nClosing the desktop will restore the default Windows taskbar.\n\n# Why does Webtop only work on Windows 10?\n\nWebtop only works on Windows 10 because there's no point to having this on Linux, and I don't have a macOS system to test anything on.\n\n# Known problems.\n\n - There's no _easy_ way to index files for replicating the Windows Start Menu search feature yet.\n - If the first window that is opened using `node-window-manager` was maximized, it restores it down.\n - Minimizing windows makes you lose them. This can be counteracted for now by restoring them.\n - Windows that get moved to the hidden icon tray on the default taskbar--such as Discord when you close it--makes you lose them.\n - The program crashes after prolonged use because of a memory leak in Electron.\n   - This is due to [a regressed problem with Electron's `desktopCapturer`](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/21555).\n   - The latest known version without a memory leak is Electron 4.2.12.\n   - Webtop will stay on the latest verion of Electron until a newer version has a fix because downgrading the Electron version will bring back even more significant problems with `desktopCapturer`.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkyza%2Fwebtop","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkyza%2Fwebtop","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkyza%2Fwebtop/lists"}
