I'm currently testing this on LL7.2 with the Xubuntu experimental PPA. Honestly all is quite promising. The link below displays some of my results.

All,

Can anyone recommend a tiling app that is compatible with Xfwm4?

Thanks,

Lite Upgrade

Lite Upgrade was producing some syntax errors that did not affect how the code ran, it was just spitting out errors that could be ignored if you ran lite-upgrade-series7 from the Terminal. That has now all been fixed. Lite Upgrade code is now up to date and running cleanly.


Window Theme: Materia
Icon Theme: Papirus
Font: Roboto Regular

How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?

In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.

Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.

Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:

How can I change change a folder icon/emblem to one I have downloaded?

Well, I spent a lot more time investigating my own question ...  I was able to download and install a custom .svg file to use as an emblem on my Recipes folder.  (Since I retired, I do most of the cooking, so I am always looking for good simple recipes.) 

Steps:
1. Download an appropriate free .svg file (or .jpg/.png file and convert to .svg).
2. Rename the the .svg file as follows: "emblem-recipe.svg"
3. As Administrator, copy the .svg file to the appropriate directory (e.g., /usr/share/icons/Humanity/emblems/48/)
4. As Administrator, execute the following: "sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Humanity" (where the index.theme file "lives.")
5. You should now see this new "recipe" emblem when you choose an emblem for a folder.

I would prefer to add customization files locally (e.g., .local/user/share/Icons/ ...), but this approach works.

I have added an attachment that includes all of the emblems that I am using to add a visual indicator to file folders.
