Linux Lite 4.0 - Sneak peeks

[valtam]

[member=6733]TheDead[/member] ideas are great, but you'll need to provide actual code to have anything considered. Cheers

Lite Updates Notify and Lite Widget. Lite Widget now has it's own package which makes it much easier to update. Lite Widget will be disabled by default.

Systemback is out, Timeshift is in (pending full testing).

Looking good Jerry.


Been using Timeshift since 3.8 beta......Never had a problem with it.

Thanks [member=4737]Jocklad[/member]. System Sounds and full system sound management at last are on the way too

Great job getting 4.0 in the works so far! I recommend to reconsider the implementation for Lite Sounds though:





How do users know when a sound is On or OFF? Perhaps having only 3 options (either on or off) is a better way to address it. The interface should show ONE only possible action at a time and that's a way to hint users. E.g.:


If System Sound is ON then display only OFF option (Disable System Sound).
If Logon Sound is OFF then display only ON option (Enable Logon Sound).
... and so forth.


Switches could be another way to handle this... e.g.:





Keep it up!

Thanks to [member=5059]whateverthing[/member] we now have a full set of Linux Lite icons representing our many applications.

In 4.x all the Lite applications will be together in 2 areas. Menu, Settings, and Settings Manager under System.

They are are also distinguishable by their dark icon backgrounds. This consistency will make it easier than ever before to find our applications.

Note: Create System report is now called Lite System Report, Login Settings is now called Lite Auto Login.

The re-write for the Help Manual for 4.x is well under way.

This icon theme should be very comfortable for windows users.

I was waiting for other screenshots before bothering you in your work but... is the new icon set with black/dark-gray backgrounds/borders because 4.0 will default to a black theme?
If not, its just the design clashes with the system icons and look like it could be a display bug (tranparency problem) or wrong Dark Vs Light icon sets.

Also, I should have some time this Easter weekend to work on a few bootspalsh ideas I want to pitch to you.

Cheers!
