Just installed Linux Lite 4.0 beta on a 16 GB usb stick to check out the theming and overall look, so I can't give any definitive report about performance, except to say that everything seems to work really well and it's pretty snappy even on the stick.
I read that with recent developments in GTK there’s been some loss of functionality in Ubuntu 18.04. For instance, the GTK Theme Configuration tool is no longer available, and the xfce panel Notification Plugin bricks my Psensor functionality, requiring a xkill keyboard shortcut to quit the app (none of Linux Lite’s fault, of course).
But this is why, in the 4x series, having the whisker menu deliberately offset from the edge of the screen, with no visible separator accessible, just seems like another loss of customization and functionality. So can this please be changed with the menu flush against the edge of the screen so that individual users can make this style and customization choice for themselves (or at least have a visible and accessible separator applied to the default style).
Also, love the look of Lite Tweaks in the 3x series, but the new version doesn’t look as good. The instructional text at the top is too large, and the active window text is not easily visible, even when reverting back to Droid Sans 10 point font (resizing the window doesn't help because it never stays). Is it too late to change this?
Having got all of that off my chest, have to say Respect to Jerry and his team for all the wonderful creativity and hard work that you put into Linux Lite. Many Thanks.
