UnlockMe App for Linux Lite

[ralphy]

Hi everyone,


I'd like to share a collection of scripts I've put together to extend Lite's goodness; UnlockMe@github.


Brave souls willing to take it for a spin in Linux Lite are welcome to provide feedback, request 3rd party application additions to the Application Software section, add your own fixes or code improvements, etc.


UnlockMe app functionality will be certainly familiar to Linux Lite users.


What's included:


- An array of tweaks to further improve your system or simply provide an easy UI to tune core system settings and additional cleanup options.





- Additional checks are in place to prevent installation/uninstallation failures while other Package Managers are executing tasks in your system.
   UnlockMe won't blindly kill a Package Manager process; it will ask the user for confirmation instead. That includes terminal processes (such as apt-get update or apt-get upgrade).





- Applications are removed from the system leaving as little leftovers behind as possible.
   3rd party PPAs are removed during uninstallation
   3rd party repos and keys  are removed during uninstallation
   Desktop shortcuts for All Users are removed when uninstalling applications whenever possible. (with plans to also remove Plank launchers on removal)
   In the case of Web browsers, cache is also cleaned out during uninstall.
- Customization - options to download and install themes, icon themes and cursors themes.





- Options to remove browser's profile
- Overall code optimizations for faster executions - The Application Software section can read and display the list of installed and available applications at least twice as fast as Lite Software and it won't tax your system's resources as much as the list grows larger.





... and much more!


You can install or update UnlockMe, simply by running the following command from Terminal (all in one line):

To uninstall UnlockMe, from Terminal:
