Set up Spacedash

Install Spacedash, put it on a monitor or your XENEON EDGE (in Desktop Mode or Widget Mode) and, if you bought it, activate Premium.

Updated 15 Nov 2026

Setting up Spacedash takes three decisions: which screen it lives on, how it shows there, and which layout you start from. The installer is about 80 MB, needs no administrator rights and no account, and the app is free. This guide goes through a first install on a monitor, on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE, or both, and ends with activating Premium for those who bought it.

Check you have what it needs

  • A PC running 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11.
  • A screen for it: any monitor, a XENEON EDGE, or both.
  • iCUE, in one case only: when the Edge runs iCUE's widgets and you want Spacedash among them (Widget Mode). Monitors don't need iCUE, and neither does the Edge when Windows uses it as a display (Desktop Mode).

Get it installed

Fetch the installer

Go to the download page and download the installer.

Open EdgeOS Setup.exe

Run the file you downloaded. Spacedash installs into your own Windows account, so Windows doesn't ask for an administrator, and it starts by itself when the install finishes.

Answer the three setup questions

On its first start Spacedash shows a short wizard, Set up Spacedash.

  1. Find your Edge. It searches for a XENEON EDGE and reports its size and whether iCUE is running. Using the Edge through iCUE? Open iCUE before this step.
  2. Choose a mode. With Desktop Mode, Spacedash fills an Edge that Windows treats as a screen. With Widget Mode, Spacedash is one widget inside iCUE, beside the others you have there.
  3. Pick a layout. Choose one of the prepared layouts as a starting point. Every tile on it can be changed afterwards on the Layout page.

Show it on a monitor

Monitors are switched on one by one under Settings → Screens. A monitor you switch on gets a layout of its own, edited on the Layout page, and three settings:

SettingChoices
ShowDesktop only: on the desktop, underneath your app windows. Always: above every window.
BackgroundDashboard: the dashboard's own background. Transparent: your wallpaper is visible between the widgets, and a click there lands on the desktop.
TaskbarKeep the Windows taskbar on that monitor, or hide it.

On the free plan Spacedash appears on a single screen, so turning a monitor on moves it there from wherever it was. With Premium it runs on the Edge and every monitor together.

Show it inside iCUE (Widget Mode)

Widget Mode needs one extra step, because iCUE has to be given the Spacedash widget.

  1. Open iCUE and go to XENEON EDGE → Widgets.
  2. Import the file edgeos.icuewidget. The setup wizard's Show the widget file button opens the folder that holds it.
  3. Place the Spacedash widget on one of the Edge's screen pages.

New to importing iCUE widgets? Install an iCUE widget shows each click.

Turn on Premium

Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It brings profiles you create yourself, custom colours, automation and more, and its key is valid for life on one PC.

  1. Buy it from the pricing page. The key is emailed to you. If you paid with the email of your account, it's also listed under Account → Orders.
  2. In the app, go to Settings → License, paste the key, and press Activate.

The PC has to be online for the activation itself. Later, Spacedash confirms the key with qaemdev.com quietly in the background, and Premium goes on working without a connection between those checks.

Where to go next

  • The Widgets page holds every built-in widget plus anything you import. Writing one takes plain HTML: see Build your own Spacedash widget.
  • The Skins page applies a complete look for the Edge from a single .edgeskin file. Spacedash skins explains them.
  • Text too small or too large? Appearance → Text size changes it in all widgets together.
  • For a normal monitor, Add widgets to your Windows desktop continues from here.

Keeping it up to date

There is nothing to do. Spacedash downloads its own updates from qaemdev.com, looking for one every few hours. Settings → Check for updates looks immediately.

Removing Spacedash

Uninstall it like any app, from Windows' Settings → Apps (it is listed as EdgeOS for now). That leaves the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\EdgeOS, where your settings, layouts and imported widgets are kept, so a later reinstall starts where you stopped. To erase those as well, delete the folder.
