Connor Knoetze — Portfolio

Hey, I am Connor this pseudo desktop is a showcase of my personal projects.

How to use

Quick tour

  • Use the window controls to minimize, maximize, or close panels.
  • Open the Projects window to browse repos; double-click a folder to view details.
  • Swap wallpapers in the Wallpaper panel; the UI adapts to keep text readable.
Styling

Windows 11-inspired, tactile

Glassmorphic panels, soft shadows, and a centered desktop layout keep everything legible over the dynamic wallpapers.

  • Acrylic-like surfaces with blurred backgrounds.
  • Rounded corners and gentle depth for a desktop feel.
  • Accent blue for controls and call-to-actions.
