WinUIShell v0.4.0 is now a self-contained release which means you don't need to install any other dependencies.

Install-PSResource WinUIShell. You are ready to create a WinUI 3 window from PowerShell.

Let me share my favorite PowerShellRun theme🎨. It's pretty much the same as default but adds a custom prompt and a rounded border.

Updated my GitHub profile and added introduction to the projects I'm currently working on. I think it explains my activity better than just pined repositories.

I'm looking forward to expanding these projects and having fun with the PowerShell community in 2026🎍

I've added a TabCompletion enhancement to PowerShellRun v0.13.1.

github.com/mdgrs-mei/Po...

It's similar to PSReadLine's MenuComplete, but the fuzzy finder can handle more completion candidates. The preview window shows the output from Get-Help or the completion ToolTip.
