3 Good quality apps for windows to make your computer seems modern

Are you bored with the layout of windows apps? Try to make your computer modern with these three open-source applications!

Before going through, here's a video of these three applications:

1. Xplorer

Xplorer is a file explorer built from ground-up to be fully customizable and without customization, it also looks modern!
It is cross-platform, built using Electron Technology that allowed our File Explorer to be run not only in Windows, but also Linux and MacOS alike.
It also allowed file preview directly inside it, not only pictures or documents, but also videos!

So to summary, Xplorer's features contain:

• Looks modern
• Easy to use
• Cross-platform
• File Preview, even videos!
• Most importantly, FOSS, Free and Open Source, which mean you can change components inside if you see fit

Thanks for your comment, yes, FIles got a bunch of bugs but I'm sure that it would be as good as the File Explorer. And actually, the numbering is off due to the markdown syntax (I actually put 2. and 3. but the markdown decided to let it become 1) xd.
