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 …
Vital customization settings are now applied on start up when Orbitiny is used as a system-wide desktop. 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. This has been a major deficiency since the very initial release …
This release includes the new battery applet for the Orbitiny Panel, fixes an annoying and hard to replicate bug with the X11 Task List which causes a task button for the panel to appear (and won’t go away) and fixes some inconsistencies with themes especially with button-based applets (sizes, alignments, colouring etc). 1.0 Pilot 9GB …
I just uploaded a completed version (this time with Battery Properties dialog) of the already announced Battery Monitor applet for Orbitiny Desktop’s panel. Like I said before, this is a separate download + no restart required of any kind. So, simply copy/paste the file and the plugin will be available for selection in your Right …
The battery applet is virtually ready, and I am just testing notifications. When you plug in/out your charger, you get a toast message / notification about it confirming the battery status (plugged in / charging or discharging) in real time. You also get similar messages when you hover its icon (the applet icon on the …
I will make this available as a separate download and you won’t even have to restart the panel. Just drop it in the orbitiny/data/orbitiny-panel.d/plugins.d directory and then Right Click->Applets and the applet is there. A true Plug&Play. Look all the way to the right, next to the speaker icon. I am almost done with that. …

I am happy to announce the release of Orbitiny Desktop Pilot 9G. This is an important release because it fills two more gaps for a more complete desktop experience. Now, when Orbitiny is installed system-wide and selected from the Display Manager menu, it applies your monitor configuration set with the Orbitiny’s Screen Configuration tool. If …
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 …
