Alright, so, the Alt+Tab Task Switcher has been completed and as you’d expect, it is its own application so it‘s running in its own memory space and by now, I think you know what that means but in case you don’t, it means that in the event of a crash, it won’t take the entire …
I am happy to announce Orbitiny Desktop Pilot 9F. This release removes an artificial 4-seconds startup delay (it was there for debugging reasons) on startup and brings you the long awaited PipeWire Audio support and with this latest add-on I have filled one more gap for a full desktop experience and coming up next is a …
So, in the previous release I introduced several innovative functions in the context menus but that increased the size of the menus. Because these are non-standard features, I decided to move those features into a submenu and this is the end result. When you right-click a file, you get the standard features you’d expect (with …

Below, I have uploaded three screenshots of various themes along with the PipeWire sinks and sources displayed.

I am adding PipeWire support to Orbitiny Desktop. To be more specific a PipeWire Audio Volume Control applet for the Orbitiny Panel. This is one of those core components that’s missing so one by one, I am adding each and every vital component for a complete Desktop Environment experience. Unfortunately, I will have to switch …
This is probably one of the most exciting releases to date! Why? Well, because I have achieved a tremendous Orbitiny Desktop start-up speed boost. Because of the efficiency and performance gained, I dubbed this release EP instead of just E and EP stands for “Efficiency and Performance” because everything is faster and smoother. Anyway, here …

For the upcoming Pilot 9E subsequent release my focal point is performance and more bug fixes (and potentially more orbitiny-screenshot-grabber features). Having said that, here is what’s been done so far. Fixed slow response and UI freezing when the Delete key is pressed to clear selected items in the internal Clipboard Manager. This eventually will …
I have uploaded another subsequent release – Pilot 9D. This release features the addition of the snipping capability I mentioned previously but also an unexpected and a surprising bug in the orbitiny-screen-config tool. Full details are right below. Download details: here. New: Added a snipping functionality to orbitiny-screenshot-grabber. To use it, pass the -s or …
