Waffle
Waffle is laid out like Windows 11: a taskbar along the bottom, a Start menu, an Action Center and a Notification Center. Everything here is set in Waffle Settings, which opens with Super+,.

In Alt+Tab, Tab and the arrows move the pick and the window switches when you let go of Alt or press Enter; Esc leaves focus where it was. With Alt still held, the auto-hide delay switches to the pick on its own.

Its looks
Section titled “Its looks”Waffle Settings›Themes picks the colour theme. Waffle keeps its own layouts; with Take style from Material on (the default) it also wears Material’s global style (Aurora glass, Angel, Editorial type…) and its transparency, chosen right below. Switch it off and Waffle is plain Fluent whatever Material uses. Colours follow the wallpaper unless you pick a theme: Colours and themes.
