How to get a Mac-style Control Center on Windows 11
For a Mac-style Control Center on Windows 11, choose a look in Glassline Settings, under Appearance, Skins. Windows' own Quick Settings lets you rearrange its controls. Glassline adds Classic, Aurora and Deck to its own panel, with your choice of controls.
Arrange Windows Quick Settings
- Click the network icon on the Windows taskbar. Windows' own Quick Settings panel opens.
- Drag the controls into order. Move the ones you use most to the top of the panel, then release them in their new positions.
That changes the order inside Windows' own panel. The skins below change Glassline's Control Center.
Choose a Glassline skin
- Install Glassline from the Microsoft Store. Open it to get the menu bar, dock and Search.
- Open Glassline Settings. Right-click the menu bar and choose Glassline Settings.
- Choose Appearance, then Skins. Pick Classic, Aurora or Deck for Control Center.
- Open your controls. Click the clock in the menu bar, then Controls. Control Center opens in the look you chose.
The design is Glassline's own, made for Windows 11, and Glassline has no connection to Apple. Each skin has the same parts and pages, so you can choose by the layout you want to see when you open your controls.
Pick your layout
Classic is the original look. Aurora is wide, with the song that is playing or the day beside the controls. Deck puts the controls in a column of tiles with upright sliders.
To try the column shown above, choose Deck, then open Controls again. To try the wider layout, return to Skins and choose Aurora. Your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, brightness and sound controls remain part of Control Center whichever look you choose.
Choose what appears
- Open Control Center in Glassline Settings. Find Controls page and Quick switches.
- Switch off the parts you do not use. Each module or quick switch you turn off leaves the panel. Control Center closes up the empty room.
- Choose what Today shows. Its calendar, Now Playing and notifications have switches here too. With Now Playing off, Aurora shows today's date in its place.
Open Controls again to check the result. You can keep the controls you reach for each day together, then return to the same settings to bring a part back. For a closer look at sound controls, see how to change each app's volume.
Glassline can be tried free for 7 days: on its Microsoft Store page, choose Free trial. After the trial, Glassline is bought once.
