Introduction

---

A minimalistic Windows app framework powered by DearPyGUI.

PyPanel offers a wide variety of discrete tools, such as:

• Monitoring sub-apps (i.e. Weather, HW Info, Game Server Info)
• Financial sub-apps (i.e. Stocks, Exchange rates)
• Notification sub-apps (i.e. Twitch, Youtube, Downdetector)

Sub-apps are continually added, as are performance and design features.

For upcoming sub-apps and features see Feature Tracker

Disclaimer

❗ PyPanel is developed as an open-source software, with no intention to go commercial. For this reason, it is not viable for us to get a costly signature certification.

What does this mean?

When you install or update PyPanel, Windows will warn you that this software is from an unknown publisher. You can skip this warning by clicking on "More Info" and "Run anyway"

Can I trust PyPanel?

We have employed 4096 bit GPG signing for every commit, so that users can be sure of PyPanel's integrity. In the future, we want to encrypt most, if not all, of the files stored on your PC. However, this does not imply PyPanel is guaranteed to be secure.

You can also build PyPanel yourself; just head to the Build section.

Getting started

Installation ⬇️

Installing PyPanel couldn't be easier:

1. Head over to Releases Page

How to use profiles?

Profiles are used to save your apps, settings and data.

1. Once you open PyPanel, the first thing you want to do is create your own profile. You can do so, by either clicking on Save Profile or Profiles -> Add

2. You will be prompted to choose a name for your profile. After clicking on Add your profile is loaded as a blank template. Now click on the menubar item Apps. Here, you'll find all the apps currently implemented in PyPanel.

PyPanel stores not only data you put in, but also the sub-app window positions and sizes.

3. After you are done setting up your PyPanel workspace, hit Save Profile.

---

⚠️ Upon creation of a new profile, you start with a blank template. Open windows from previously loaded profile are NOT transferred.

⚠️ Profiles do NOT auto-save. You have to click on Save Profile

Warnings above will be fixed in upcoming versions of PyPanel.

Building PyPanel from source code is a straightforward process. 0. Install Python >= 3.9.0

1. Install PyInstaller

2. (Recommended: Install pyinstaller-versionfile)

3. Create a .yml file called metadata

   Version: x.x.x
   FileDescription: PyPanel
   InternalName: PyPanel
   LegalCopyright: MIT
   OriginalFilename: PyPanel.exe
   ProductName: PyPanel

4. Create a powershell script in the project root folder

   # locate your venv
   .\venv\Scripts\activate
   # create VERSION file from metadata
   create-version-file metadata.yml --outfile VERSION --version x.x.x
   # build
   pyinstaller script.py -F `
   --name "PyPanel" `
   --windowed `
   --icon "docs\img\ico\icon.ico" `
   --onedir `
   --add-data "data\*;data" `
   --add-data "data\*.txt;data" `
   --add-data "data\*.png;data" `
   --version-file "VERSION" `
   --clean

5. Run the PS script
