Breeze Shell is an alternative, Fluent-style context menu for Windows 10 and 11, built in C++ with a lightweight custom UI library. It is extensible via an embedded JavaScript API and highly configurable, replacing the default Explorer right-click menu.
Use cases
- replace the Windows 11 context menu with a faster, prettier one
- customize right-click menu animations and appearance
- extend the context menu with custom actions via scripts
- get a consistent context menu in OneCommander
- make Windows file explorer feel more fluent
When to choose
- you dislike the default Windows 10/11 context menus
- you want scriptable, extensible context menu actions
- you want a lightweight (~2MiB) alternative with smooth animations
When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, production-hardened shell replacement (project is still in active development)
- you are not on Windows
- you prefer not to run third-party software that hooks into Explorer
