Newfangled desktop environment

Cairo Desktop is a neat and contemporary personalization tool that revolutionizes the looks and functions of your Windows desktop. Created by Cairo Development Team, this utility gives you the power to customize your computer system from top to the bottom aiming to simplify access, streamline workflow and enhance overall productivity.

It is free and open-source software that can change the main elements on your Windows PC with ease. This is an excellent shell replacement for the most popular desktop customization tool, WindowBlinds.

More neatly organized Windows look

The modern Windows look that Cairo Desktop brings to the table will most probably remind you of the macOS Dock especially its taskbar. Here, program shortcuts along with the currently opened browser windows will be shown at the bottom of your screen in an easy-to-understand layout which will enable you to effortlessly switch between tasks. This feature is dynamic as its size changes every time you open and close applications.

The system tray, on the other hand, is moved at the top of your screen. The right corner of it is where the clock and icons are placed. While on the left corner, you'll locate Cairo Menu that contains some shortcuts including Documents, Downloads, etc. Program Menu is also part of it. All the desktop apps you selected to be included will be seen there.

Through the App Grabber option, you'll choose specific installed applications to display in Program Menu and arrange them according to your own categories. What's unique about this personalization utility is the ‘Folder Stacks’ feature. It's the built-in file manager of Cairo that doesn't open in an interface when a folder is clicked to launch. Furthermore, it enables you to create instant access to frequently used folders.

Brings a convenient Windows experience

If you want a more organized look for your Windows system, Cairo Desktop is the best shell replacement for it. It is a personalization tool that is created with convenience in mind. Thus, most of the functions and features it provides always allow immediate access to your computer programs and files.

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.
