I’ve replaced the address bar plugin for the panel with a run button / plugin. The old plugin is still available in case I get complains and users want it back. The new one is actually a brand new and modern plugin but functions exactly the same nonetheless and in my opinion, it’s even more …
As part of the ongoing improvements across the entire Orbitiny Desktop, I’ve implemented panel scrolling. The best way to describe this is with screenshots so take a look. Here is how the panel would normally look: Now hover the pointer over the panel and wheel up / down and all of the contents would move …
If you’ve tried to use Orbitiny’s panel vertically and have noticed it looks a “little off”, just know that it’s all getting fixed.

I really like the way this looks. The color tone of the dark/translucent glossy/glassy areas in the content area can easily be changed to any …
Although, this next release (Pilot 11) is coming along at a slower pace, I want you to rest assured that the project has not stagnated and that I am right here and actively working on it. The main reason for slow updates are R&D, creativity + code development as it takes a great deal of …
