About Fluent Flyout

Fluent Flyout is an open-source Windows 11 app that adds media flyouts and taskbar widgets styled with Fluent 2 design principles, so the interface blends with the system. It shows cover art, title, artist and media controls in a flyout, offers an "Up Next" flyout when a track ends, a lock keys flyout, and a taskbar widget that displays media information directly on the Windows taskbar. Appearance options include Light and Dark mode, Windows Mica blur, matching the device color theme, customizable flyout positions, and smooth animations; playback options include Repeat All, Repeat One and Shuffle. The app sits in the system tray and targets Windows 11. Builds from GitHub are free, open source and fully featured, but installation and updates are manual, while the Microsoft Store version provides one-click installation and automatic background updates, with a small set of optional features unlocked by a one-time purchase (€2.99, varies by region).
