Please be informed that this is a beta version - you're deploying it at your own risk!!
For the most reliable deployment process, I recommend to install latest version of Powershell Core and run install.ps1 script from the script directory and run it as an Administrator. Everything else (except dock, which must be run separately in non-elevated pwsh session) will be deployed automatically for you (including Winget if not already installed).
- Tasklist object to resemble top-level menus of macOS menu bar,
- Modern UI theme,
- more Dock customization,
- more functions.
