Development

Development indexes the engineering-facing material for PlexyDesk. Use this page to identify active work areas, the source directories that implement them, and the reference pages that should be consulted during development.

Current engineering themes

Current work is centred on making the compositor, shell, and client toolkit operate as one coherent runtime. The main areas are:

compositor and surface management behaviour
shell-owned desktop UI such as the dock, menubar, wallpaper, and chrome
renderer behaviour, materials, and presentation consistency
client toolkit growth and public API clarity
source-backed documentation and examples that track the codebase closely

Source map

Area	Why it matters
`src/`	Core compositor, backend, renderer, protocol, input, and shell implementation
`lib/`	Client-side support libraries and event loop code used by applications
`include/plexy/`	Public API headers, including the current PlexyUI interface surface
`examples/`	Small reference programs that demonstrate application patterns
`apps/`	Application experiments that exercise the runtime and UI toolkit
`tasks/`	Engineering notes, implementation summaries, and optimisation work
