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 but not any more.
At the time of this post, the following settings are automatically applied:
- Icon Themes
- Audio Volume Levels (PipeWire or PulseAudio)
- Screen Brightness
- Monitor / Screen Configuration Settings
- Font Names and Sizes
- Cursors
This makes Orbitiny Desktop a real choice for users wanting an alternative X11 desktop.
More settings such as keyboard configuration and more will also be added but a little later – one step at a time.
More features are coming for a complete desktop experience so this is the beginning, not the end.
I will be uploading a new release soon with this included, just doing some more testing.
