Some of you may already know this but for those who don’t, here is something for you.

The font is either tiny to the extent of being unreadable because they try to fit the entire clock …

If you’ve been using Orbitiny, you already know that if you double click a Windows .exe program file, the file gets automatically passed to wine and the application runs as if you double-clicked it from within Windows itself. How good it will run, that depends on wine, but nonetheless, the wine utility will try to …

So, I have revamped / installed the new theming system into the property dialogs of all the Orbitiny panel’s applets / plugins. This means regardless whether it is the properties of the Application Menu, Drawer, Output Monitor etc, it will look uniform and the same (see this post for screenshots) as their theming is no …

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 …
