Overview

About Orbitiny Desktop

Built from the ground up using Qt and coded in C++, Orbitiny Desktop is a new and innovative desktop environment for Linux/X11 bringing you exclusive features and functionalities unavailable in other desktop environments. Built from the ground up means that Orbitiny Desktop is not a derivative of any other desktop environment. It is its own independent code developed from scratch over the course of 9 years (and counting)! It started with a blank window and developed into a fully featured and innovative desktop with 52 external components and several more integrated applications such as the built-in Clipboard Manager (which by the way has features not found in other Clipboard Managers), the Dashboard and more.

Some of the exclusive and innovative features include (but are not limited to):

  • Desktop Gestures (draw a pattern on an empty area on the desktop to perform an action)
  • Icon Emblems for files on the clipboard (cut and copied)
  • Icon Emblems for new or modified files
  • Icon Emblems for empty files and directories
  • Multi-Paste Support (pasting to multiple selected directories)
  • Paste to File (right-click a file and select Paste to File)
  • Image Pasting (Have in image on the clipboard? Just right click anywhere and select Paste Image)
  • File join (drag a file over another one to join the files)
  • Dedicated Icons for Mounted and User Account Directories
  • Custom Desktop Directories (set any folder to be used as you desktop folder)
  • Individual Desktop Directory per Monitor
  • Individual Desktop Directory per Virtual Desktop (switching to another virtual desktop switches desktop directories too).
