Well, the long anticipated Orbitiny Desktop Pilot X has finally been released. Orbitiny Desktop is a new, 100% portable, innovative and traditional desktop environment for Linux + X11 (with potential Wayland support in the future). It is developed in C++ and Qt. This is the biggest, most difficult and substantial update ever released to date …
I just finished doing some major changes during a code clean-up op. Whole sections with hundreds of lines of code have been scrapped (without removing features) and this is some very, very old code when I first started the project and I have completely rewritten the whole thing as well as the way the Xlib …

Since Orbitiny’s inception, there has been an ongoing and longstanding issue in Qutiny’s file search. So many times when a search was started, regardless how many times you’d request to cancel it, you’d get that friendly promising toast notification: “Request acknowledged but it may take some time…No need to re-issue the request” and yet, the …
Finally, the very last application has received the theming upgrade. As you can see, it uses a combination of the new and beautiful light theme along with beautiful acrylic context menus.
