Growl for Windows Display

I have been a user of Growl for Windows for a long time. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and installed Growl, like I usually do. I liked the way the new notifications in Windows 10 looked and wanted that look for Growl so I created a Windows 10 Style Display for Growl.

 

Right now, there is really only one option to set, and that is where you would like it to show up on screen.

settings

Here is a preview of the Display.

You can manually install by downloading from Github (source is also available), or you can automatically install to Growl for Windows.

How to enable Use default gateway on remote network with Windows 10

There are a lot of tutorials out there that are for previous versions of Windows that say to right click on the VPN and choose properties, then select IPv4 and click properties. The problem is with Windows 10, at least for me, nothing happens when you click the properties button.

 

The way I have found to enable this functionality is via PowerShell.

 

Start PowerShell as an administrator then run Get-VpnConnection

1

Next run Set-VpnConnection –Name MY_VPN_NAME –SplitTunneling $true
Replace MY_VPN_NAME with the name of your VPN connection.
