The Elixir Desktop was an innovative graphical user interface environment created in the mid to late 1980s by Elixir Technologies Corporation. The Elixir Desktop married the user interface metaphors of the Xerox Star 8010 (icons, windows) with the GEM graphics environment from Digital Research Inc. running on an IBM PC and compatible hardware. The Elixir Desktop was one of the first full graphical interfaces to run on a DOS PC.
The advent of Microsoft Windows 3.0 in 1990 supplanted early graphical desktop environments such as Elixir. The Elixir Desktop was ported to the Windows platform and ran as an embedded application until the early 2000s. Elixir Desktop tools are now replaced by Elixir DesignPro Tools for Windows.
