May I please ask for clarification of the menu planned for 2.6 when the Lite Control Center will be fully integrated? Will there still be "Settings" and "System" showing up in the menu?

"Settings" and "System" will remain.

Thanks Jerry for letting us know.

One important reason I install Linux Lite on others' computer is the simplistic, clear approach.
I always considered as area for improvement the menu, specifically the "Settings" and "System" category. Just have a look at the different places to configure the screensaver/ power settings.
In addition to these two categories we already have the "Settings Manager" which represents just a different arrangement of existing menu entries.

The hope was to get this all simplified by having the "Lite Control Center", replacing all three and having a one-stop-shop for everything. Now it looks like we're getting an additional menu entry, partly just another arrangement of already existing menu entries.

As great as it looks, as much potential as it has, I don't want to confront my users with a forth possibility to perform some setting/ system work. Especially while confusing entries like screensaver/ power settings are not sorted out and menu entries are in the wrong category - in my opinion. For example, Firewall configuration, Install Drivers and Lite Upgrade are clear System tasks of the System administrator. They shouldn't be under Settings where I expect the normal user to configure his/her DE/session whithout the need for root permissions.

Thanks
