[member=2]Jerry[/member]  I cannot find a way to remove the minimize button that reduces the window to the panel.

Small changes -
aligned last row of buttons a little better.
Altered Copyright line to bring the C logo and word Copyright closer/spaced correctly.

Edits -
added code for x and y coordinates for aligning the logo image more exactly.
Completely redone spacing, and row numbering used.

I thought x,y is a good option for future proofing, as logo sizes and designs may change over time and this allows for exact positioning of the logo in the gui, as it is not relying upon the grid (rows and columns alone) to position the logo, so providing accuracy and ease of changing in an efficient way.

I realized I didn't state the logo image size I used, this is 150x49 pixels

[member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] it looks nice

Looks like this needs the python-tk package for tkinter. I'll add it as a dependency in 5.x

- Top logo also links to main website.
- Add button somewhere logical that links to internal Help Manual. /usr/share/doc/litemanual/index.html
- Could you please add our logo as a taskbar icon, points to in Series 4.x+: /usr/share/icons/Papirus/48x48/apps/liteicon.png (or whatever size suits)
- Rename app to llabout.py and pull and display the current LL version from /etc/llver file.

Hope you're enjoying the challenges.
