Modular Control Center

PythonpygameDesktopRetroWindows

A retro-style modular control centre built with Python and pygame. v9 adds a clipboard manager, quick-launch search screen, two-column home layout with live CPU/RAM stats, three new colour themes, a screensaver timer, and fixes a critical module-level bug from v8.5. Packaged as a standalone single-file executable.
