The implementation of the new theming system across all components is progressing well. Once completed, literally, every section of Orbitiny will be themable and there won’t be a single application that would not be able to receive a custom CSS and the best thing is that everything will be uniform and would look the same …
I am in process of unifying the appearance of the entire UI. No more “this component looks this way“, “that component looks that way” etc. I have implemented a completely new and automated way of theming the entire GUI (graphical user interface) of every component, every dialog at run time (this is what other desktops …
One more screenshot demonstrating Qutiny’s latest theme design. This latest screenshot shows most parts completed including the file preview pane. As I have shown you, I’ve been experimenting with various designs in the hope that I will come up with something that looks good but also be different than other designs that you see in …
Here is another experimental theme design for Qutiny (the file browser). Again, this is just a theme and you can restore the original ones just by selecting the theme from the Interface Theme menu. The actual color tone would be different on your computer because the overall look depends on the wallpaper in use but …

Here is the first official look of Qutiny’s completely new acrylic theme. As always, this is work in progress and the code behind it giving it this look is highly experimental. It takes a significant amount of time to get it right and that is why I wasn’t focusing on it. I wanted to get …
So after a small pause (break) in development, I decided to jump back to it and I started working on Orbitiny’s acrylic theming so here is the initial screenshot of Orbitiny’s acrylic panel along with its application menu. In this screenshot, I’ve removed all of the widgets except for the application menu for better observance …
Release notes: BugFix: Fixed “Run as Root” not working when invoking a shell script when the option is set from Orbitiny Panel’s applets (Launcher, Drawer, Quick Launch etc) New: Included and incorporated xdotool with Orbitiny. To make use of it from within Orbitiny’s session, use $XDO_TOOL instead of xdotool.
Well, that didn’t take long. Very, very sorry for these mishaps… BugFix: Fixed a disk view bug in Qutiny side bar – unmounted partitions appear as mounted. BugFix: Fixed a bug causing the default file manager not to open when mounting a partition from the desktop’s mount points context menu.
I am happy to announce the release of Orbitiny Desktop Pilot 10 and for the first time since Orbitiny’s initial release, Orbitiny Desktop now meets nearly all the necessary and fundamental functionalities required for a complete desktop experience and this includes automatic startup configuration (when used as a system-wide desktop) of icons, themes, cursors, audio …
Source: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt6ct-kde. The QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct is automatically exported within Orbitiny’s session when Orbitiny starts. The tool will be accessible from Orbitiny’s Control. The Control Panel is getting rather crowded now and that’s good. I will also add a category called Orbitiny in Orbitiny’s Applications Menu. Not sure if I can make this a reality within 24 …
