FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package unicorn
EXT:unicorn - A magical unicorn for the TYPO3 backend
Adds an interactive, animated unicorn that gallops across the TYPO3 backend — complete with sparkle trails, physics-based jumping, and a handful of easter eggs.
Features
- Unicorn runs and bounces across the bottom of the TYPO3 backend
- Physics-based jumping with adjustable height
- Sparkle trail of stars, hearts, and butterflies following the unicorn
- Upside-down mode: unicorn flips and runs across the top of the screen
- Double-tap Up: triggers a full-screen star shower and explosion burst
- Fully keyboard-driven — no clicks required
- Works across all TYPO3 backend iframes
- No configuration, no database records — install and it just works

Easter Eggs
Star shower (Arrow Up pressed twice quickly): launches five sparkle bursts randomly across the entire screen, plus a radial explosion of 60 stars from the unicorn's current position.
Upside-down mode (Arrow Down): the unicorn flips upside down and gallops across the top of the backend. Sparkles trail downward from the ceiling. Jumping still works — the unicorn bounces away from the ceiling and is pulled back up. Press Arrow Down again to return to the floor.
