MiniBar is a small always-on-top bar that shows what is playing and controls it:
cover, title, artist, progress, and play/pause/previous/next on hover. It reads the
media session Windows already knows about, so it works with any player that registers
one - Spotify, Tidal, YouTube Music in a browser, foobar2000 - with no account, API key
or plugin.
It uses about 7 MB of RAM, ships as a single ~300 KB executable with no runtime to
install, and does no GPU work between redraws. It never injects a DLL and never installs
a hook, so it is safe to run alongside anti-cheat software.
Three modes: a free-floating overlay that stays above fullscreen-windowed games and is
click-through until you hover it, a docked strip that reserves screen space, and a pill
that sits in the taskbar's empty space. The mouse wheel changes the player's own volume
in the Windows mixer, not the system volume.

Je, MiniBar ni bure?
Ndiyo. MiniBar ni programu ya chanzo huria chini ya leseni ya MIT.
Je, ni salama kupakua MiniBar?
Faili inapakuliwa kutoka github.com, ambayo ni ya mchapishaji mwenyewe; ExeAtlas haihifadhi wala haibadilishi faili. Linganisha hashi yake ya SHA256 na ile iliyoonyeshwa hapa, au fungua ripoti ya VirusTotal ya hashi hiyo.
Jinsi ya kusakinisha MiniBar kwa winget?
Fungua PowerShell au Windows Terminal na uendeshe amri ya winget iliyoonyeshwa kwenye ukurasa huu. winget hupakua kisakinishi rasmi na kukagua hashi yake ya SHA256 kabla ya kukiendesha.
MiniBar inafanya kazi kwenye matoleo gani ya Windows?
Kisakinishi kinahitaji Windows 11 21H2 au mpya zaidi na kinapatikana kwa 64-bit.
Je, MiniBar inafanya kazi kwenye ARM (Windows on Arm)?
Hakuna toleo la ARM64; Windows 11 on Arm inaweza kuendesha toleo la 64-bit kupitia uigaji (emulation).
Je, MiniBar inaweza kutumika bila haki za msimamizi?
Ndiyo, ni portable: fungua kumbukumbu (archive) na uiendeshe.
Ni programu gani mbadala wa MiniBar?
Spotify, iTunes, FLAC, Mixxx na Sonic Pi. Ukurasa wa mbadala unazilinganisha.
