Ciao Andrea Regarding the menu-cache package, the sub-menus really open faster, good job. :) Does 11.2's 'X11:lxde' repo still contain the old PCManFM?

Current "Look and Feel"

I noticed the updated LXDE branding and I haven't reset my desktop to default in a few months. It really is looking like a SUSE desktop. Good work. -Marc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help(a)opensuse.org

This might already be somewhere, but are we trying to use OpenSUSE artwork from either Gnome or KDE? Personally I find the KDE artwork great. I would be interested in working with some of the graphics. -Marc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help(a)opensuse.org

Fwd: [Lxde-list] PCManFM/libfm now has thumbnail support and auto-mount!
by Andrea Florio 19 Feb '10

i forward here the pcman mail... please test an report any issue you find... pcmanfm2 is available from X11:lxde repository. Best regards Andrea -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto: [Lxde-list] PCManFM/libfm now has thumbnail support and auto-mount! Data: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:55:47 +0800 Mittente: PCMan <pcman.tw(a)gmail.com> A: lxde-list <Lxde-list(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Hi list, After days of hacking, now pcmanfm2/libfm supports thumbnail and very basic auto-mount. Heavy testing is needed since I'm going to make first public tarball release (alpha release). Translators please exam English strings to see if there are errors in spelling or grammar since I'm not native speacker. There is no urgent need to update your translations because strings are not yet frozen and they might be changed later. After some final UI polishing, I'll make a tarball. My current plan is to release it within one week. Besides, some people seemed to notice prolonged startup time. Please confirm this. If the startup speed is really slow, I need to fix that.

lxde is now fully installable from Milestone 2 DVD.. that's very good, and thanks to everybody for your greate job, without your help i'll never be able to provide it alone (thanks coolo, vuntz, prusnak, yast developers and so on) now, see if new gcc will break something, and then move on with lots of interesting news.. like: new lxdm with THEME support (marketing/art people are you there? :D) libmenu-cache 0.3.1 with speed up and bug fixes lxpanel 0.5.5 (as before) but most of all, pcmanfm2 looks ready to replace pcmanfm of course everything is already available into X11:lxde at that point, i would like you help to review X11:lxde/libfm i think it really needs to be improved...

help wanted?

Hi, I'm just coming over from http://forums.opensuse.org/tech-news/421110-opensuse-lxde-live-cd-now-ready… and I'd like to ask what kind of help is needed. I'm not a programmer or packager and I've been using LXDE for just a couple of weeks now (openbox and kde before) but I do a lot of user support on a german (suse)linux forum and I think I can spend some time supporting LXDE. So what can I ( or someone else) do? Greetz, Lutz (lotz1009) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help(a)opensuse.org

openSUSE 11.3, LXDE and Office software
by Andrea Florio 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi people i have a question for you: what kind of office software should lxde provide on default 11.3 installation? *Word processing/spreadsheet & co.* OpenOffice.org (the best Office application but definetly not lightweight). XFCE suggest to install it or Abiword and Gnumeric (never used before so i don't know how good they are now, but they _ARE_ lightweight) *PDF* epdfview (imho better) or xpdf *Mail client* i have no idea what provide here.. *Money* should we provide gnucash? probably too many gnome dependencies?
