XivDesktop v1.0.2

Important

Nothing in this build has been verified in game yet. It is built and tested without the game; entries under not yet verified in game say exactly that, and move to New once they have been seen working.

In this build, not yet verified in game

• Pressing plain d could open the launcher palette as if it were Super+D, and keep doing so until Super+D was pressed again (seen on GNOME under Wine: the desktop takes Super's release, so Wine kept reporting Super held). Super now only counts once XivDesktop has seen it pressed while the game is in front; switching away forgets it, and a hold over ten seconds needs a fresh press. Fixed in host tests; not yet verified in game.
• /arcade moved out of XivDesktop into its own mod, XivArcade, before it was ever released here. Your ~/Games/Arcade folder, library and save-sync setup carry over untouched. When both mods are installed, the launcher palette still finds your classic games by name (an Arcade badge), through XivArcade's IPC; XivDesktop no longer has the /arcade command or window itself.

Install

1. In game, open /xlsettings → Experimental → Custom Plugin Repositories, add https://spacegho.st/mods/ffxiv/plugins.json, press +, then Save and close.
2. Open /xlplugins, search for XivDesktop and install it. Dalamud updates it from then on.

• In progress: the /npc speaker's body. The dialogue works, but the character never appears in the world yet. The speaker is now built with the game's own creature setup (nothing is copied from your character: no gear, no name, no company tag), and every step reports to the Dalamud log, which is how the cause was narrowed down. What was tried and what to try next is in docs/NPC-SPAWN.md.

2. Open /xlplugins, search for XivDesktop and install it. Dalamud updates it from then on.

XivDesktop v1.0.0

Important

Nothing in this build has been verified in game yet. It is built and tested without the game; entries under not yet verified in game say exactly that, and move to New once they have been seen working.

In this build, not yet verified in game

• XivDesktop itself: a launcher for your Linux desktop's apps inside the game. /desktop opens an app grid with icons, favourites and recent apps; the apps run on the Linux host, not inside Wine, and appear as game panels through a compatible Ghostty for Dalamud build and its host agent. XivDesktop does not render or stream windows itself.
• A keyboard-first launcher palette (Super+D by default, configurable): search apps and open panels, run actions, or type a sum into a bounded calculator.
• Key chords, nine workspaces, and focus, close and placement controls for panels, through Ghostty's IPC. Advanced operations need the matching methods in the installed Ghostty build.
• Optional Umbra toolbar widgets: Apps (a launcher) and Windows (a taskbar). Both are clients of XivDesktop's IPC and neither replaces the Ghostty backend.
• Experimental: /npc <question> summons a local speaker with a Talk-style dialogue, answered by Almanac's local gateway; /npc bye dismisses it and /npc who opens the picker.
• Experimental: /claude opens a Claude Code session as an in-game panel, with streaming text, tool cards and permission dialogs, run as Ghostty agent jobs. It has its own backend, sign-in and data handling, separate from Almanac's local models.
• The game's cursor stays visible over XivDesktop's windows and popups.

Install

1. In game, open /xlsettings → Experimental → Custom Plugin Repositories, add https://spacegho.st/mods/ffxiv/plugins.json, press +, then Save and close.
2. Open /xlplugins, search for XivDesktop and install it. Dalamud updates it from then on.
