FEATURES

Six things desktop skins need

From window behavior to permission review, Driftlet covers the whole desktop-skin workflow.

Webpages as widgets

Any webpage becomes a transparent, borderless desktop window. HTML/CSS/JS is your skin language.

Flexible window control

Always-on-top or pinned to desktop, with position lock, opacity, 50–200% zoom and drag-to-resize.

.dskin skin packages

Zip-based packages that install on double-click; updates preserve your personal settings.

Permission security model

6 sensitive permissions declared item-by-item, high-risk ones clearly flagged before install.

Visual skin settings

Declare 19 control types in skin.json; the settings panel is auto-generated and pushes values live.

Global hotkey

Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D hides or shows every skin at once — built for demos and focus time.

SECURITY

Every skin passes inspection first

The install wizard lists every sensitive permission a skin requests — files, registry, shell, system control, clipboard, microphone — with high-risk items flagged in red. Decline, and nothing installs.

FOR CREATORS

If you can build a webpage, you can build a skin

A skin is just a folder: skin.json + index.html. Saving hot-reloads instantly, window.__DESK_PP__ bridges system powers, and pack-skin.exe packages it for sharing.
