  Xmas template

Xmas template is kinda blinding.  8) Is it possible for to have a user choice for using a darker forum theme? I like this one http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/...?lemma=759

Hi all,

We have added Pale Moon support to Lite Tweaks in Linux Lite 3.x Series.

New features:

  • Clean Pale Moon browser cache
  • Set Pale Moon as Default Web browser

Once the default browser has been set, all web related links should open by default with your preferred browser:

  Persistence Size - LL3 on 8G USB drive
Posted by: Ironfighter - 12-20-2016, 11:55 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (5)

I have just successfully installed LL3 on an 8G stick using Linux Live USB creator on a Windows 8 e540 ThinkPad with 16G of Ram.  I am very impressed with this distro so far having used Puppy Linux in the past which I also think is a great - but for me as a Linux novice Linux Lite seems far easier to use.  My questions are:

1. How much drive space does the initial install use?
2. How can I tell how much space I have available for installing additional packages?
3. How can I tell how much space I have available for packages and "saved" files like text documents and spreadsheets etc.

As an aside I love that desktop and the fonts - a thing of beauty.

  Lite Themes updated - all corners grabable
Posted by: valtam - 12-19-2016, 05:05 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (7)

All window corners should now be grabable.

I know many of you have been waiting for this feature and have lived without this for so long. Thank you for your perseverance. Install Updates to get this now. Change themes, then change back to Arc to see this straight away, or logout/in.

  Ubuntu Software Conter alternative with most features?
Posted by: Lite Potato - 12-19-2016, 01:39 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I have reinstalled Lite 3.0, noticing, again, the lack of Ubuntu Software Center or derivatives. What would you suggest I install?

  Volume Prompt Displays Multiple Times
Posted by: PinStripe - 12-19-2016, 01:18 AM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Volume Prompt Displays Multiple Times when I depress the volume key on my keyboard.
Why is this? This is a BUG!

I hit the volume key like 4-5 times and I have 4-5 volume prompts on my screen.

Needs to be fixed.
