This is really interesting, if  anyone wants to experiment.
I figured out how to customize whisker menu buttons.
First enable compositing, then edit .gtkrc-2.0 and add this:
#.gtkrc-2.0
#Whisker

    style "darkback"
    {
          engine "pixmap"
            {
                 
                    }
                    image
                    {
                            function                = BOX
                            recolorable            = TRUE
                            state                  = PRELIGHT
                            file                    = "hover.png"
                            border                  = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }
                            stretch                = FALSE
                    }
                    image
                    {
                            function                = BOX
                            recolorable            = TRUE
                            state                  = ACTIVE
                            file                    = "hover.png"
                            border                  = { 1, 1, 1, 1 }
                            stretch                = FALSE
                    }
            }
            bg[NORMAL] = "#404040"
            bg[ACTIVE] = "#606060"
            bg[PRELIGHT] = "#808080"
            fg[NORMAL] = "#ccc"
            fg[ACTIVE] = "#fff"
            fg[PRELIGHT] = "#fff"
    }
    widget "whiskermenu-window*" style "darkback"
#end of file

Save this image to your home folder and rename it to hover.png

log out and then back in, and see what happpens with whisker.

Next: Instead of using only one hover.png try using 2 different
For PRELIGHT use hover.png and for ACTIVE hover1.png
Adwaita gtk2 theme works great with this.

i'm not sure if this is a driver issue because i have been using this graphic card with full success, but now my monitor starts making like a "thunk" sound blacking sound for a second or two and turning back on. i've had this happen once or twice and ignored it, but today it got to the point where it would do it non stop. under drivers im using "the recommended driver" and seeing its a new issue i'm not sure if i should just go choosing new ones unless someone knows if this is a unrelated issue? weird how it started out of no where i've been using linux lite since 1.0.

"the divice is using the recommende driver."
"nvida corporation: G69 [GeoForce 9500 GT]

anyone have any ideas? find it weird that it is something that just started... :\

Dear Valtam,

Can LL 2.0 run in ARM based CPU's

This will open all webpages and html files with Chrome. If you want to set Chromium as your default web browser, replace each instance of google-chrome.desktop below with chromium-browser.desktop

1. Open your home folder, browse to /etc/gnome

2. Right click on defaults.list and Open as Administrator

3. Look for the lines:

Hello!

I wonder if Linux Lite comes with multimedia support, codecs, plugins etc?

Hugs!

Since installing LL 2.0 I have noticed a quicker drain on the battery and the machine appears to run hotter. Any IDEAs guys why this might be happening.

  What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D    : show the differences between the versions
      Z    : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.

Had to try a couple of times to catch to copy a couple of times before "Install Updates" terminal window closed because I "interrupted" by closing the window.

When I entered D:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

Not sure what the above items above are. (Firefox and Thunderbird were updated.)

I tried instruction and got the following:

coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ apt-get autoremove
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ su  apt-get autoremove
No passwd entry for user 'apt-get'
coastie@coastie-desktop:~$ linux
The program 'linux' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install user-mode-linux


What does this mean and what should I do about it?

Greetings Lite Linux community.

First of all thanks for excellent SO.

I wish that you would guide me on the steps I take to create a version of Linux Lite 2.0 but in Spanish (Venezuela). My goal is to have a LiveCD Linux Lite 2.0 in Spanish and fit on a CD.

Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english .

Fileshare Applet is a small screenshot program. You can highlight any section of the screen with the mouse, upload the image to Imgur hosting service, and then paste the URL link from the clipboard to your forum post, etc. Unlike with most other similar apps, you are not restricted to making a screenshot of either active window or the whole desktop. Here is an example (it's the corner of the Panel + a bit of the desktop background):



Fileshare Applet is not available in any repositories, only as a deb package that must be installed manually.

I had no problems installing and running the applet in Xubuntu v14.04, but in LL v2.0 when I try to start it from the App Menu it just won't run:


(click anywhere on the page to zoom it to 100%)

and is nowhere to be seen in Task Manager either (it is installed as "indicator-fileshare"):



----------------------------------
Here are installation instructions.

1) Download the zip file and extract it to any temporary directory:

2) In LL install "build-essential " from Synaptic or:
