## 描述
Desktop Mode renders /wp-admin as a desktop operating system. Admin screens open
as draggable, resizable, minimizable windows on a desktop, with a left-edge dock
built from the admin menu. The classic admin stays untouched for everyone else,
and deactivating the plugin restores vanilla Core exactly.
Built and maintained by [Automattic](https://automattic.com) — the company behind
WordPress.com, Jetpack, WooCommerce, and Tumblr. Zero Core patches: every feature
is wired through public WordPress hooks.
#### Highlights
* **Per-user opt-in.** An admin-bar toggle flips a user-meta flag; nobody else
sees any change.
* **Window system.** Iframe windows load admin pages chromelessly. Native windows
render directly in the parent DOM via a public registration API. Both share drag,
resize, minimize, maximize, fullscreen, and detach-to-new-tab.
* **Dock + taskbar.** Left-edge dock for core menus; bottom macOS-style pill taskbar
for plugin menus. Letter-badge icon fallback for plugins without icon art.
* **Virtual desktops (“Spaces”).** Multiple desktops per user, each with its own
window set. Overview grid surfaces the Spaces switcher and thumbnails.
* **Arrange & snap.** Cascade, Tile, Overview, Snap-to-grid. Plugins contribute
custom entries.
* **Wallpaper & widget registries.** Server- and client-side registration. CSS
presets plus canvas (WebGL/2D) wallpapers with collision-aware surface data for
snow/rain/physics effects.
* **Desktop icons.** Wallpaper-layer shortcuts that open native windows or admin
URLs.
* **AI Copilot (optional).** Cmd+K palette backed by an agentic loop with built-
in search tools. Disabled until you supply an API key. See “External services”
below.
* **Slash commands & palettes.** Public registration APIs for plugin authors.
* **Cross-frame drag bridge.** Media-library attachments drag across iframe boundaries.
* **Session persistence.** Window stack (including desktops, focus, state) restored
across reloads.
* **i18n.** Full gettext coverage across PHP and TypeScript; Spanish translation
shipped.
#### For plugin authors
Desktop Mode is built to be extended. Every significant behavior is hookable — add
a desktop icon, register a dock item, gate desktop mode by role, react to window
events, or register a native window, all from your own plugin with zero patches
here.
Comprehensive PHP and JavaScript hook surface, plus stable `desktop_mode_register_*`
functions for windows, widgets, wallpapers, icons, window tabs, commands, settings
tabs, and AI tools. See the [developer docs on GitHub](https://github.com/WordPress/desktop-mode/tree/trunk/docs).
#### External services
This plugin’s optional **AI Copilot** sends data to **OpenAI** (`https://api.openai.
com/v1/responses`) when, and only when, an administrator configures an OpenAI API
key in **Settings AI**. With no key configured, no external requests are made.
When the AI Copilot is enabled and a user invokes it (via Cmd+K or the slash-command
palette):
* **What is sent:** the user’s prompt, the conversation history for the active
session, the chosen model identifier (e.g. `gpt-4o-mini`), and tool-call metadata.
The plugin’s built-in tools (`search_posts`, `search_pages`, `search_comments`)
run WordPress’s native keyword search and may include excerpts of the matching
posts/pages/comments in tool results, which are then sent back to OpenAI as part
of the agentic loop.
* **When it is sent:** on user-initiated AI requests, and (if enabled) on comment-
save hooks for spam analysis. Comment spam analysis runs server-side as part
of the comment-insert flow. Posts, pages, and taxonomy terms are not sent automatically.
* **Why it is sent:** to obtain model completions and tool-call decisions that
drive the AI Copilot.
* **Who provides the service:** OpenAI, L.L.C. — see the [OpenAI Terms of Use](https://openai.com/policies/row-terms-of-use/)
and the [OpenAI Privacy Policy](https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy/).
The AI Copilot’s provider layer is also extensible: third-party plugins may register
additional providers via `desktop_mode_register_ai_provider()`. Those providers
may send data to other endpoints; review each plugin’s own privacy disclosure separately.
No other external services are contacted by this plugin.
### Credits
Desktop Mode is brought to you by [Automattic](https://automattic.com). The plugin
is open source under GPLv2-or-later; contributions are welcome on [GitHub](https://github.com/WordPress/desktop-mode).
#### Third-party libraries
The plugin bundles the following third-party JavaScript library, loaded on demand
only when a feature that needs it is in use:
* **[PixiJS](https://pixijs.com/)** (MIT License) — used by the interactive **OS
Settings About** scene, the **Content Graph** window, and built-in canvas wallpapers(
e.g. the animated WordPress logo). PixiJS is loaded from the plugin’s own `assets/
vendor/` directory; no CDN requests are made.
## 安装
1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via **Plugins Add
New Upload Plugin**.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
3. Click the **desktop** icon in the admin bar’s top-right corner. The admin reloads
inside the desktop shell.
4. Click the same icon again at any time to return to the classic admin.
#### Optional: enable the AI Copilot
1. Open **Settings AI** inside desktop mode.
2. Paste an OpenAI API key and pick a model.
3. Press **Cmd+K** (or **Ctrl+K**) anywhere in desktop mode to open the AI palette.
## 常见问题
### Does this change anything for users who don’t opt in?
No. The classic admin is untouched until a user toggles desktop mode on for themselves.
Deactivating the plugin restores vanilla Core exactly.
### Does the plugin require an external service to function?
No. The desktop shell, windowing, dock, taskbar, virtual desktops, widgets, wallpapers,
and all extension APIs work entirely on-site. The AI Copilot is the only feature
that contacts an external service, and it is disabled until an administrator configures
an API key. See “External services” in the description.
### Does it patch WordPress core?
No. Every feature is wired through public WordPress actions and filters.
### How do I disable desktop mode for my user?
Click the desktop icon in the admin bar a second time to flip the toggle off. The
plugin can also be deactivated globally from the Plugins screen.
### Where is the developer documentation?
In `docs/` inside the plugin, and on [GitHub](https://github.com/WordPress/desktop-mode/tree/trunk/docs).
The hook reference, JavaScript reference, bridge protocol, and copy-paste examples
all live there.

### [One word… Wow!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-word-wow-7/)
[MauroS](https://profiles.wordpress.org/maurosp91/) 2026 年 6 月 4 日
This plugin blowed my mind. It turns your wordpress admin in such a beautiful dashboard.
What an experience. Contratulations to the owners of the project!
### [Modern and creative admin experience](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modern-and-creative-admin-experience/)
[Rami Obeidat](https://profiles.wordpress.org/obeidat/) 2026 年 5 月 28 日
Really interesting concept and one of the more unique WordPress admin experience
plugins I’ve tested recently. I especially like the desktop/workspace direction
and the overall creativity behind the UI. I spend a lot of time testing modern admin/
workspace plugins and Desktop Mode definitely stands out with its own approach.
Looking forward to seeing how the project evolves 👌

This plugin is awesome! It runs perfectly smoothly and completely upgrades the default
dashboard experience. If you spend a lot of time in the WordPress backend, this
makes a world of difference. I’ve been using it on my website, Key2blogging, and
it has made managing everything so much cooler and easier. Highly recommended!

This is a really neat idea. WP core’s been giving me similar vibes to Tiddlywiki
in its capability towards extensibility and this plugin solidifies that idea in
my mind. I’d be interested in having other providers available for use with quick
search – and even an option to fall back to the normal Ctrl+K behavior. But this
is a great enhancement of WP Admin for my personal use-case as-is and really makes
my personal site feel like home.

Very interesting idea. It makes working in WP somewhat more productive…

It’s a cool project. Very much creative. I wouldn’t have ever thought about turning
WP admin into a desktop-like interface. How did you come up with it?
