In my previous post I mentioned that I have two more utilities to reprocess and that’s the Orbitiny Search and Device Manager.

Qutiny is Orbinty’s file manager and here is its latest design. As you can see, the theming looks very sharp, up to date and professional with drop shadow effects on buttons and toolbars.

If you’ve been following the project so far, you’d know that Orbitny Desktop’s primary target has always been X11 (X.org and XLibre) and that will stay.

In the previous post, some sections weren’t done, now they are. Here is how the new audio, drawer and calendar menus look. Also, I said previously that the SysTray appearance has been improved so in these panel screenshots, I have integrated it so that it shows all icons for you to see. About the Drawer …
Here is a slideshow with plenty of screenshots of Orbitiny’s latest development. The slideshow showcases the two themes that I’ve been working on. Pilot 11 is near and this is its look (more or less) with further tweaks to be made as I go along. Aside from theming, here is what I have fixed so …
I’ve implemented a way for the text on the panel to automatically adjust its font color depending on the background color behind it. This means if the background behind the panel is dark, the text will become light / white and if the background is light / bright then the text color will become dark …

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

This is Orbitiny Pilot 11 and the best is yet to come. As you can see, I am doing a complete revamp, to the very core. Enjoy the screenshots. And one more thing, just because there has been silence from me, it doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on it. Non-bold fonts:
