UmbraDesktop | Umbraco Marketplace
# news
l
I just released UmbraDesktop, a full desktop mode in Umbraco! It’s completely ridiculous and took way more work than is reasonable, but it’s so extremely cool! I really like the fact that you can keep windows open and just switch easy between them. Or have multiple content editors open to work side by side. Oh and did I mention it has nine background images to choose from, including a Umbraco 4 retro styled image 😃 You can find UmbraDesktop on the marketplace. Read the readme first to make sure you enable the desktop mode for your user! https://marketplace.umbraco.com/package/umbraco.community.umbradesktop https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/882981290662580264/1544998852807893042/1019d92a7c37d626c518c55e78c8656d8848b4c0.png?ex=6a9a8bcf&is=6a993a4f&hm=b7d8d34dca77f6607025723e5fe28859e9c8932506eb0d1301ae615ccfb43c9a& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/882981290662580264/1544998853290491974/24b73e081bc714fa3d36663790f57bc3c049b2c5.png?ex=6a9a8bcf&is=6a993a4f&hm=a76e539485b7ad019bb74d248cb7d9f1223b222e773494178822bb227db860d6&

I think SiteCore has this right?
l
🤐 it does
My Advanced Permissions package and the UmbraDesktop package are both inspired by Sitecore
m
😮 the secret is out Luuk's a spy!
l
Nah, my packages are better because they are Umbraco
I mean, I much prefer Umbraco, but SOME things Sitecore really did do 'better' in my opinion, like advanced permissions 😉
But I haven't touched Sitecore in years, so that's worth some redeeming, right?
m
same, I got lucky and wasn't sent for the training 😄
l
I have Sitecore 5 and 6 certifications...yeah...
c
All that's missing is a couple more minutes of boot up time and we've got the complete experience 🙊
l
Yes, I was thinking of adding a delay timer with a boot animation. Also, twice a day it will randomly reboot and show an update screen
I'm thinking of adding skins later, so that reboot only occurs if you are on the Windows skin 😛
c
Don't forget to add a hook into Umbraco.AI that skins it to be Windows Copilot 😛
l
Yes and the first time you boot into Umbraco desktop you get an annoying unskippable wizard asking you all kinds of things you don't want or need. The full Windows experience 😄
s
I love the wallpapers, you should post them in 4k too 🙂
m
No do it as Clippy 😄
l
They are Ai generated and they are simply not generated in 4K, so getting AI to redo them exactly the same will be a challenge I'm afraid... But in the repo you can find the uncompressed images (it compresses them dynamically on build for the backgrounds). https://github.com/Luuk1983/Umbraco.Community.UmbraDesktop/tree/main/src/Umbraco.Community.UmbraDesktop/backoffice/wallpapers-src
m
