PlexyDesk

Welcome to PlexyDesk - "Build your Own Desktop"

PlexyDesk is fully powered by Qt Framework.

PlexyDesk is a modular Desktop extension fully powered by Nokia Qt Framework.
PlexyDesk lets you customise your Desktop with QML and it's C++ API. Apart from this, PlexyDesk also lets you make theme packs (Skins) for your desktop using QML and share it with everyone.

PlexyDesk Currently supports the following features:

• Change your desktop wallpaper by dragging and dropping any image you like from your file manager.
• Fully supports Qt QML
• Provides support for Qt/3D
• PlexyDesk widgets can be programmed with shader programs (GLSL).
• API for writing data models, and C++ widget plugins
• Dbus API for changing the wallpaper on Linux
• Various Utility widgets (like a Clock, File browser, and Photo Frame).

PlexyDesk Depends on Qt 4.7 or above and we currently use the following Qt Modules:

• QtCore - for File system access and plugin API
• QtGUI - we mostly use QGraphicsView
• QtOpenGL - to run PlexyDesk in hardware accelerated mode
• QtNetwork - for network access and data plugins
• QtSVG - for C++ widgets
• QtDeclarative - or QML support
• QtWebkit - to run Apple Widgets on Mac
• QtXML and QtXmlPatterns - for XML processing
• QtTest - for Test cases
• QtDBus - for interprocess communication needs

PlexyDesk binary release and the source code can be obtained from our Downloads Page
