When does LL 5.0 get released ? - There's no official Roadmap until the end of Series 4.x, but you can assume around 1st June 2020.

Do you have a list of apps, or a poll of apps for LL 5.0 and beyond ? Not yet, to early. I'm still considering what if much at all, I can introduce to 4.x We are pretty complete now.

I understand now when you wrote earlier about it is quite a long way away.

Looks like there has been a slight misunderstanding with the small LL logo in the top left hand corner of the app. That icon is supposed to be on the taskbar. Sorry for any confusion.

icon removed
Here you can see what I had wrote previously from the image, how the menubar shrinks to fit the font size of the menus, if an icon was used there at the same size it would be this size, whereas it expanded to produce the same space above the icon rather than above the fonts, as the icon was too big, so it made it too big a space above the fonts.It might help someone else if they weren't sure about it. Last icon was 24x24 ,so it might work with 16x16 icon instead.
