Nick Hamze

<p>ODD turns your WordPress admin into a customizable desktop you actually want to spend time in.</p>
<p>WordPress does not have to feel like a plain control panel. With ODD and WP Desktop Mode, your admin can become a little digital room: a place with wallpaper, personality, favorite tools, charming desk toys, and a shop full of strange little upgrades.</p>
<p>ODD is made by Nick Hamze. Visit https://weirdpress.com/odd to learn more or try it in Playground.</p>
<p>Open the ODD Shop, pick what feels right, and make the workspace yours.</p>
<p>With ODD you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add living wallpapers that make your desktop feel alive.</li>
<li>Dress up your Desktop Mode dock, taskbar, and desktop icons with themed raster icon sets.</li>
<li>Swap in custom cursors that match the mood.</li>
<li>Drop tiny widgets onto the desktop, like notes, toys, embeds, and little desk companions.</li>
<li>Install small desktop apps that open in their own windows.</li>
<li>Start with a ready-made starter pack, then customize from there.</li>
</ul>
<p>ODD is for people who live in WordPress all day and want it to feel less like rented office furniture and more like their own place.</p>
<p>Maybe your WordPress should be calm and cozy. Maybe it should be weird and neon. Maybe it should look like a tiny operating system from a dream. ODD gives you the pieces and lets you decorate.</p>
<h3>Why You’ll Like It</h3>
<h4>Your admin gets a personality</h4>
<p>Change the look and feel of WordPress without changing your public site. ODD decorates your workspace, not your visitors’ experience.</p>
<h4>It is easy to try things</h4>
<p>Browse the ODD Shop, install something, apply it, swap it, remove it, and keep playing until the desktop feels right.</p>
<h4>It makes everyday WordPress more fun</h4>
<p>Your tools are still there. Your admin still works. It just feels more alive while you work.</p>
<h4>It works with WP Desktop Mode</h4>
<p>ODD is made for WP Desktop Mode, the plugin that turns wp-admin into a desktop-style workspace.<br />
It works with Desktop Mode’s own windows, dock, taskbar, desktop icons, and widget layer instead of replacing the desktop shell.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>ODD connects to the public ODD catalog at https://odd.regionallyfamous.com/catalog/v1/. This catalog is used to show items in the ODD Shop and download the wallpapers, icon sets, cursors, widgets, and apps you choose to install.</p>
<p>When an administrator opens or refreshes the ODD Shop, when WordPress cron checks whether new catalog content is available, when the starter pack runs, when catalog content is installed, or when an installed item is repaired, the site makes normal HTTPS requests for static catalog files and assets. Those requests may include normal web request information such as the server IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamp.</p>
<p>ODD does not send site content, user account details, cookies, analytics events, license keys, or diagnostic reports to the catalog service.</p>

<h3>Source and build tools</h3>
<p>The human-readable source code for ODD is available at https://github.com/RegionallyFamous/odd. The repository includes the source files, build scripts, catalog sources, and package metadata used to create the plugin.</p>
<p>The generated JavaScript runtime files in <code>apps/runtime/*.js</code> are built from the public <code>react</code> and <code>react-dom</code> npm packages pinned in the repository. React source code is maintained at https://github.com/facebook/react, and the exact package versions are recorded in <code>package-lock.json</code>.</p>
<p>Typical build commands:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>npm ci</code></li>
<li><code>odd/bin/build-runtime</code></li>
<li><code>python3 _tools/build-catalog.py</code></li>
<li><code>odd/bin/build-zip</code></li>
</ol>
