Expanded drawer over a blue desktop: four tiles (CommandRunner.exe, Libraries, NordVPN, Visual Studio Code), a dashed Add tile, and a CODING TOOLS handle.

The same drawer collapsed to just its CODING TOOLS handle bar with a down chevron; the panel body has slid off, revealing the plain blue desktop below.

A tall GAMES drawer over a lake wallpaper: a grid of game shortcuts (Cyberpunk 2077, Hades, Hollow Knight, NieR Automata, more) and a slim handle at right.

About this widget

Desktop Drawer is a launcher panel fed by your Windows desktop. In curated mode it starts empty; the + tile opens a picker of desktop items to add, and you drag tiles between drawers to move them or drop them out to remove them. In all mode it mirrors the whole desktop live. Clicking a tile opens the item just like double-clicking it on the desktop, and renamed or deleted items drop out on their own. Configure the title, curated or all contents, labels, icon size, sort order, panel style, and which edge it collapses toward.
