We don't want people to accept UEFI as the norm. On the contrary, it's quite abnormal and unnecessary. Lite Control Center is long gone sorry. :)

Hi Jerry.  Are you looking at UEFI compatibility with 4.0?  I hope so.  Also, is there a chance that you might bring back the Lite Control Center?  It was great.  Thanks for the great distro.   :D

It's a development machine. It's not fully LL featured, it's only for testing software at this stage.

Desktop Icons coming to 4.x (and the ability to easily enable/disable them).


Will the icon set be scalable? for a potential future dpi friendly XFCE.
Also, no bottom panel whisker menu in your video clip? Please remember the no0bs! ;)

I've applied all the theming and installed all the packages and the Desktop boots to around 350mb. Not bad for x64. The VirtualBox addons add approx. 17mb to that, so if those weren't installed it would be even less.
A back-in-time question on that. I don't have any LL 2.x mahicne left but I remember having pop up message in the top right about v-box or vbox. Was that related to VirtualBox at the time?

This can be done in the 3.x series..
- If you don't currently have trashcan..
Menu > Settings > Desktop
Under ICONS tab > Default Icons click check box next to Trash Can then close.
Thanks @firenice03  ! I tried out your suggestion and it worked perfectly! I now have a Trash Can on my LL 3.8 desktop. I'd never had to recover anything from it before so I hadn't been worried about not seeing it, but I sure was glad to empty what had become a very full trash can.

Very excited about 4.0 in general, it sounds like it'll be really interesting.
Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!

I am liking the new look thou!!!

There are many differences between that, and what we will be offering. eg. no Network icon, Filesystem launches the root system / not all of your hard drives.
Sorry meaning the trashcan icon was accessible/could be added - if vera didn't have..


Since on the subject... Can the other "desktop" items i.e. Backgrounds be accessible from the New Lite-Desktop?
Background/Icons/Themes-Appearance items of similar interest...

Will LL4.0 have a 32bit option?    If so, when will LL cease to support 32 bit machines,   Thanks

No 32bit OS from Series 3.x onwards. 32bit software support will end for various LL Series according to the dates on our Roadmap.

Excited about the desktop icons and ability to enable/disable them! This is a huge help. I especially like the idea of having the trash folder on the desktop. Great to know that I'll be able to do that via GUI in 4.0!! Very excited for 4.0.
