The dynamic mode automatically resizes the taskbar to create a docker like experience similar to macOS’ Dock. It also comes with independent margin controls and better support for TranslucentTB, another open-source tool that enables transparency effect for the taskbar. 

For Windows 10 users, it comes with a split mode, a simplified version of dynamic mode for Windows 10.

EarTrumpet

Windows 11 uses the same old volume mixer from the Settings app, but you can expand the default functionality with a free tool called EarTrumpet. EarTrumpet replaces the default audio volume mixer in the OS completely and it’s available for free in the Microsoft Store.

EarTrumpet features a modern user interface and it perfectly blends into Windows 11’s new rounded corners experience.

As you can see in the above GIF, this app lets you adjust the volume level for each app and it replaces the existing volume mixer. The app doesn’t come with any other interesting features, but it supports keyboard shortcuts.
