Screens and views

Views

A view is one complete arrangement of widgets. Themia lets you keep several and switch between them, which is what makes the desktop context-sensitive rather than one fixed wall of information.

The usual shape this takes is one view per mode of working: a work view with mail, calendar and project folders; a personal view with music, weather and photos; a monitoring view with system stats. Switching swaps the whole desktop at once.

Views can be renamed, duplicated and deleted. Duplicating is the quick way to build a variant of an arrangement you already like.

Multiple monitors

Each display can show its own view, so a second monitor isn’t obliged to mirror the first. A layout is proportional (see Layout and grid), so the same view shown on two different-sized monitors renders correctly on both rather than being cropped or squeezed into a corner.

Monitors are identified individually, so Themia can tell your displays apart and remember which view belongs on which, including across disconnects and reconnects. Individual monitors can also be switched off entirely, leaving that screen free of widgets.

Widgets are pinned to the desktop work area, so they respect the taskbar rather than sliding under it, and they re-pin when the work area changes: a resolution change, a scaling change, a monitor being plugged in.

Per-monitor scale

Displays with different DPI settings are handled per monitor, so widgets stay physically consistent between a high-DPI laptop panel and a standard external screen rather than rendering tiny on one and oversized on the other.

Switching views

Views can be switched from the view bar, from a keyboard shortcut, or from the View switcher widget placed on the desktop itself.

Free tier limits

The free tier covers 2 screens. Pro removes that ceiling; see Licensing and limits.
