Linux Lite 2.6 Suggestion Thread

[paul1149]

Thanks, Dave. With LL in a VM my Windows install was accessed via network share, but in a physical install it's a simple local drive, so my immediate bookmark/shortcut problem is automatically solved. I have worked before with your solution in the other thread using the fstab file in Mint, I believe it was. Not pretty, and I couldn't get it to work, though it should. Also, using a "credentials=<filespec with root read permissions only>" option rather than user/pass in clear text might be a little more secure.


But I don't want to distract this thread so any further issues I'll post separately.

... Re. Dark theme - we're working on a all-in-one Theme pack. It will contain - mouse, icon and themes in one easy to install package. It will include a nice dark theme. Cheers

I like the BleuFear theme that that I "borrowed" from Spatry's Manjaro (COL), Gnome Brave icons (blue folders look good on gray background and I like the mesh trash can), and black DMZ mouse theme at largest setting of 48. 

I guess I read on Facebook a suggestion to add Compiz because I don't see it here on the forum. I personally don't like all the fancy stuff it does and memory it uses so I would just uninstall it. If advanced users want it why not just add it as and option in Lite Software but not be installed by default.

I would also like a couple changes in Lite Tweaks. Color coding actions (safe = green and caution = red). Also an option to remove the boot splash not just restore it. I removed it with Grub Customizer. I don't understand much of what the text say my computer is doing at boot and shut down but like to see it is working. Also it is impressive to watch.  ;D

Compiz is already installed, theres no need to add it. It's the Compiz Manager people are asking for.

This has been requested in the past (can't remember who the forum member was). We're unable to do this with the Zenity code.

That's something that is likely to stay as a user choice, as we're targeting Windows users, this kind of mod is not recommended and would be more of a niche request. Cheers

??? I must have uninstalled it and forgot.

Would very much like to use either mouse or keyboard to select login user icon.

P.S.@paul1149 - For larger mouse pointer size, go to Settings/Mouse and Touchpad/Theme/Size (and increase or decrease mouse/cursor size as needed). LL2.4

* Jerry may be opposed to this,  but here it goes  Full UEFI support.  (someday....)

1- Have package- xfce4- goodies         AND    xfce4-artwork       installed as part of the base system.

2- Ability to have Persistance when installed to USB drive by default.

3- Ability to install Nvidia/Optimus on its own after install, say a script or something. and a way to revert if it fails. I think it would make things much easier, provided it works correctly

Hello!

The ability to select/deselect updates, like Ubuntu's Software Updater, would be nice...

The Log Out button isn't obvious to new users.  I'd like to suggest a "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" shortcut to the "Log Out" options for those new users familiar with Windows.

Other suggestions would be to add the "Turn Off Computer" choice to the "System" or "Favorites" Whisker Menu Categories.

Have you set a default web browser yet? If not, use Lite Tweaks to do this.

I have done that.  I set it to Chromium using the Lite Tweaks.

But shouldn't your reply be in the feed for the Linux Lite Control Center?
