Desktop
The Qubix panel has two looks. The first is the familiar web view with the section list on the left. The second is the desktop: wallpaper, section icons, windows, a dock with programs at the bottom and a menu bar with a clock at the top. The very same panel pages work inside the windows — the look changes the shell, not the capabilities; the light and dark themes exist in both looks.
The point is simple: a media buyer keeps several screens open all day. On the desktop the campaign list, an ad's card and an auto-pause rule stand side by side — no running around browser tabs.
For new users the desktop is on from the first sign-in. You can return to the familiar view at any moment — and back again.
Switching the look
- From the desktop to the web view — the Klasik görünüm button on the right side of the menu bar. If any windows carry unsaved edits, the panel asks about it once for all windows.
- From the web view to the desktop — the Masaüstü button in the header, next to the theme switch.
- Via settings — "My settings" → "Appearance", the Panel stili block: two buttons, Klasik görünüm and Masaüstü.
The choice is remembered in the browser. On a narrow screen the desktop is unavailable — the panel shows the web view by itself and brings the desktop back when the browser window is wide enough again.
Windows
One window is one panel screen: a section's list, a card, an editor. A card always opens in its own window, so the list stays beside it. Clicking the same card or icon again raises the window that is already open instead of spawning a second one.
You drag a window by its title bar, resize it by any edge or corner, and maximize it with a double click on the title bar. In the corner there are three buttons: close, minimize, maximize; closing a window with an unsaved edit asks first. A minimized window fades out where it stands and comes back with a click on its program's tile in the dock.
Each window's title bar carries its own:
- back and forward arrows — the trail of addresses walked inside this window (the browser button would shake the whole desktop at once);
- "Refresh" — redraws only this window, the neighbours are untouched;
- "Copy link" — a link that opens exactly this window for the recipient, with the same tab, sorting and period;
- the AI button — this window's assistant panel (see below).
Up to twelve windows can be open: the next one closes the window that has gone longest untouched — and never sacrifices a window with an unsaved edit.
Each window has its own period
The period and the granularity step live in the window's title bar, not panel-wide. A new window inherits them from the one it was opened from and then lives its own life: "today" in one window and "7 days" in the next — comparing periods without switching back and forth. The time zone stays shared — it is a property of the person and lives in the menu bar.
Tabs inside a window
While a page has few tabs, they sit as a capsule in the title bar. On pages with many tabs the capsule turns into a full-height side panel with groups — it can be narrowed or collapsed, and the window remembers that.
An assistant in every window
Every window — every single one — has its own AI assistant panel: the "AI" button in the title bar. The glass panel sticks to the side of the window: the side can be switched, the width can be dragged. The assistant sees which section is open and works in the product rather than just answering questions: it builds reports, writes rules and scripts, helps right on the screen in front of you. The campaign list in one window with its assistant beside it — and the neighbouring window holds its own conversation.
Desktop icons
On first sign-in the desktop holds icons of every section available to you: campaigns, offers, creatives, Facebook, auto-rules, scripts, PWA, domains and the rest — each opens as a window.
- Icons move on a grid and remember their place; one dropped on an occupied cell slides to the nearest free one.
- A single click selects an icon, a double click or Enter opens the section as a window.
- An icon can be dragged into the dock and pinned there (see below).
The desktop shows only what is available to you: sections closed by rights or by the plan get no icons.
The dock
At the bottom is the dock — the program strip.
- The first tile opens the grid of everything launchable, with a search field — programs, sections, tools.
- Then come the pinned programs: QDrive, the assistant, "My dashboards", settings, QDocs, QSheets, QNote and others. A dot glows under the running ones.
- Everything open gets its own tile for the lifetime of its window — a minimized window comes back through it.
- The dock is assembled by dragging, both ways: any icon from the desktop drags into the dock and pins — the dock opens a gap under the cursor where the tile will land. The same in reverse: pull a tile up out of the dock — it unpins, and the section stays reachable from the desktop and the program grid. That is how everyone builds a dock for their own work.
- Icons gently grow under the cursor; when the system asks to reduce motion, the dock stands still.
The dock shows only what is available to you — like the desktop; a window checks rights the same way a page does, and the look cannot bypass them.
Overview and window layout
When there are many windows, the desktop has three ways to bring order:
- Tüm pencereleri göster — a button on the right of the dock, past the divider: all open windows lay out as tiles, a click on a tile raises the window, Escape puts things back.
- Masaüstünü göster — the neighbouring button, also on the right of the dock: the windows slide to the edges and bare the desktop; pressing again returns them. A click on the empty wallpaper does the same — a quick way to glance at the desktop without touching the dock.
- The "Window" menu in the menu bar: minimize the window, minimize all, "Arrange", and the list of open windows — the active one with a check mark, minimized ones with a diamond, the first nine with Option + 1 … Option + 9 hints.
Search
The magnifier in the menu bar opens the search: type a section or program name, arrows select, Enter launches it as a window. The same field lives in the program grid.
The search launches sections — it does not search the data: it cannot find an ad or a domain by name.
The menu bar
On the left — the Qubix mark with the general menu (settings, services, people and access, sign out; the items are filtered by rights) and the active program's menu that changes with it: "File", "Edit" (live only where the program edits text), "View", "Go", "Window", "Help". Keyboard shortcuts are written to the right of the items. The "Window" menu lists the open windows: the active one with a check mark, minimized ones with a diamond.
On the right — the time zone, search, the notification bell, language, theme, "full screen", the exit to the web view, your name and the clock. "Full screen" removes the browser tabs and the address bar — the panel stops looking like a website.
Keyboard shortcuts
All desktop shortcuts live on Option — on Windows that is Alt. Cmd and Ctrl are deliberately untouched: they belong to the browser, and a page has no right to take them (Cmd+W would close the tab, not the window).
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Option + W | Close the front window |
| Option + 1 … Option + 9 | Go to a window by number (the numbers are in the "Window" menu) |
| Option + Tab | Cycle windows by last use; with Shift — backwards |
| Option + ` | Cycle windows in order |
| Option + [ and Option + ] | Back and forward along the active window's trail |
| Enter | Open the selected desktop icon as a window |
| Escape | Close what the desktop opened over itself: the program grid, the search, the window overview. Escape does not touch windows |
The shortcuts are written right in the menu items — no need to peek at this table. The document and spreadsheet editors have their own shortcuts — see QDocs and the "Keyboard shortcuts" window in the editor's "Help" menu.
Links and memory
- A window's link (the "Copy link" button) opens exactly this window for the recipient — with the address, the tab and the period.
- The desktop's link — the address in the browser bar carries the whole set of open windows and which of them is in front: you can send a colleague your working layout as one link. Ordinary links to sections and cards open too — as a window on the desktop.
- Window positions and sizes do not travel in links — the recipient's browser remembers them per section: a section opens where it was last left in that browser.
The icon layout, what is pinned in the dock, window sizes and places and the look choice itself are stored in the browser, not in the account. On another computer, in another browser or after clearing the site data the desktop greets you as on the first visit.
The wallpaper comes as a pair to the theme — light and dark; setting your own picture is not possible yet. There is one desktop — there are no multiple desktops-spaces.
