The clean desktop and the panel
One switch sweeps every icon off the desktop. Nothing is moved or deleted: Vealo uses the standard Windows setting, and turning the feature off brings the normal desktop back instantly.
- Summon by hotkey (Ctrl+Space by default, fully reassignable) or by clicking an empty spot on the desktop.
- Your own sections, for example Games, Apps and Files, with drag ordering and group drag and drop.
- Instant search across the whole folder tree, a clickable breadcrumb path and a built-in image viewer.
- Tile sizes S, M and L, interface scale from 50% to 150%, and a panel you can resize by any edge or corner.
- Fast startup: the desktop is marked icon-free before Explorer builds it, so icons never flash at logon.
- Optional power button with shutdown, restart, sleep and lock, plus a sleep timer.
Two monitors, two desktops
Vealo treats every screen as its own space instead of stretching one layout across all of them.
- A separate set of shortcuts per screen: arrange icons across monitors and each panel shows only that screen's icons.
- A separate panel size and position per screen, remembered where you left it.
- The panel opens on the monitor your cursor is on.
- Mixed display scaling is handled correctly, for example a 125% laptop screen next to a 100% monitor.
Themes, glass and the taskbar
Colour is not limited to the panel. Vealo pushes the same look onto Windows itself.
- A set of ready colour themes, all free, plus a theme generated from your wallpaper's colours and a fully custom colour with an on-screen eyedropper.
- Two window styles: Mono, an opaque surface, and Glass, the real Windows 11 acrylic blur with adjustable transparency.
- The taskbar takes your theme colour, and the whole system can follow the panel between light and dark.
- Six opening animations, outline modes, a window frame toggle and a neon strength slider.
Wallpapers and video wallpapers
A built-in gallery plus your own files, rendered for each monitor at its native resolution.
- Categories: abstract, anime, city, cozy, dark, light, nature, cosmos, and your own favourites.
- Crop control and a contrast slider, so a picture fits any aspect ratio without stretching.
- The same picture can go to the lock screen.
- Video wallpapers play underneath the desktop icons, a different video per monitor, with speed control.
Cursors, including your own files and packs
The mouse pointer is part of the look, so Vealo restyles it too, and it can take cursors you bring yourself.
- Six built-in shapes: arrow, comet, neon, duo, aura and shard.
- Fill colour, outline colour, automatic outline, black or white outline, and a mode that recolours the cursor together with the theme.
- Add your own .cur and .ani files and they appear next to the built-in shapes.
- Add a whole cursor pack: point Vealo at a folder of .cur and .ani files and it becomes a selectable set. One click restores the standard Windows cursor.
Desktop effects
Particles drawn under the icons, on the desktop itself rather than in a window.
- Rain, snow, leaves and sparks.
- Per-effect controls: colour, density, scale, speed, opacity and wind.
- Game mode pauses effects and video wallpapers as soon as something goes fullscreen, freeing GPU memory.
- Everything runs in a separate process, so the panel stays responsive.
Ambient sound
Background loops for work or sleep, mixed inside the app.
- Rain, fire, storm, thunder, forest, lake and ocean, and several of them can play at once.
- Seamless looping with smooth fades, plus your own audio files.
- Sleep timer from 15 minutes to 12 hours, optionally shutting the computer down at the end.
Desktop widgets
Widgets live on the wallpaper, not inside the panel, and follow your theme.
- A clock with several layouts, a large font selection, scale up to 300%, colour, opacity, shadow, seconds, AM/PM and language.
- A media player widget that shows whatever is playing in any app.
- Both are dragged into place directly on the desktop.
Keyboard and device lighting
The theme continues past the screen onto your peripherals.
- Razer Chroma works straight away; thousands of other devices connect through the free OpenRGB.
- Effects: static, breathing, wave, checkerboard, spectrum, fire, reflection, ripple, starfall, rain and glow.
- Brightness, brightness contrast, colour contrast, and a mode that reacts to what is on screen.
Profiles
A profile is the whole look saved at once, not just a colour.
- Theme, wallpaper, window style, cursor, effects, sound, lighting and widgets, all in one slot.
- Switching a profile applies everything in one click, for example Work, Gaming and Evening.
- Two slots are free, more come with Pro.
What is free and what is Pro
The desktop organizer itself is free forever. Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks the rest of the customization.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my own cursors in Vealo?
Yes. Vealo accepts your own .cur and .ani files, and it also accepts a whole cursor pack: point it at a folder of cursor files and the pack becomes a selectable set alongside the six built-in shapes. Your own cursors and packs are part of Vealo Pro.
Does Vealo delete or move my desktop icons?
No. It uses the standard Windows setting that hides desktop icons, and shows the same shortcuts inside its panel. Nothing is moved on disk, and switching the feature off restores the desktop instantly.
Does it work with two monitors?
Yes, and each screen is treated separately. Every monitor keeps its own panel size and position, the panel opens on the screen your cursor is on, and each screen can show only the shortcuts that live on it. Different display scaling on different monitors is handled correctly.
Does Vealo need an internet connection or an account?
No. The app is fully offline: no account, no telemetry, no network connections, no admin rights. Settings and an icon cache are stored locally in %AppData%\Vealo and can be deleted at any time.
Why is the Glass style not turning on?
Three usual reasons: Windows energy saver is on, transparency effects are switched off in Windows, or the Windows build is older than 22H2. Vealo names the reason next to the style and links straight to the right settings page.
What exactly does Vealo Pro add?
The theme generated from your wallpaper and custom colours, all cursor shapes plus your own cursor files and packs, all desktop effects, all ambient sounds plus your own audio files, all widget styles and fonts, all lighting effects, unlimited sections and profiles, and the glass transparency and neon sliders. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
