Linux Lite 2.6 Beta Released

[Joseph]

I would like to see an onscreen keyboard.

I too would like to see the onscreen keyboard. I use onboard, which is very customizable, but wish there was a way to get it onto the login screen. Turns out activating accessibility setting doesn't readily give us access to an onscreen keyboard there either.

Hey Jerry,
You guys have done an absolutely awesome job on this new 2.6 beta. Love the Control Center!
I am starting a You Tube channel soon and plan to kick it off with a review of the beta.
Hope all is well. Keep up the great work!

Hey Guys!

My quick take on the 2.6 beta is live on Youtube.

Nice video and review. Few things to say on it, firstly... omg a reviewer with GOOD audio lol. This is such an obvious thing and kudos on having nice sound/mic setup. And so cool people like the control center, was alot of work for me doing it alone for a rather long time. (Way better and awesome people have helped improve it ofc) It's cool to see peoples reactions to stuff we make here, it's more motivation for sure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

BTW not so obvious a feature, try clicking on the feather in the upper left side.

May you test WinKey in LL 2.6 Beta Installer image? In my case there print about error. Only after installer desktop boot. If install LL 2.6 Beta then WinKey and LL Menu works fine.

Can confirm this, seems the left super key is trying to execute and doesnt have the right perms.

I'm coming back to give Linux Lite another try after briefly giving the 2.2 release a go.  I must say, it's beautiful and functions great, especially for a beta.  I'm currently running xfce, compiz, the Catalyst video driver, and using 4.1 surround audio with no problems.  Nicely done.

LLCC is gorgeous and works great.  Reminds me of how impressed I was with the Mandrake Control Center back in the early 9.* days.  I saw someone else mention having it replace the standard xfce control options in the menu, and I have to agree that having both options may be a bit confusing for new users. The only problem I have with LLCC is that the sidebar and button colors seem to be hard-coded.  This makes it slightly problematic with some gtk themes. Check out this screenshot to see what I mean.  As you can see (or not), the text is unreadable.  This is with the vertex theme, but the High Contrast theme does the same thing.



Again, great work.  And I think your login screen theme is about the slickest I've ever seen.  Bonus points.

Thank you for your kind words vredfreak. The gtk issue has been mentioned previously. This is something we hope to address in the future. Cheers.
