    "Actual Window Manager" has a tabbed explorer feature that has a sleek, modern design and similarly integrates in the native Windows 10 file explorer. However, the tabbed feature by "Actual Window Manager" strictly works in the file explorer window, not with misc. apps at this time, unlike TidyTabs.
