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.

So, automatic start-up configuration of Icons, Themes, Cursors, Volume Levels (PiperWire or PulseAudio), Screen Brightness, Monitor Resolution and Positions, Fonts has been completed and now it is time to fill the next gap and that is, keyboard configuration which, of course, will too be applied on start-up when Orbitiny is run as a standalone and …

So, this means when you adjust non-Orbitiny settings within an Obritiny Desktop session, the settings are now remembered and applied on start-up when the session is restarted.
