Linux Lite 2.8 Suggestion Thread

[Jerry]

This will reset when there's an update. If you're really clever, you could run a cron job that sends a sed command every so often to set the window size.

After playing around with editing the file:  /usr/share/litecc/litecenter.py as suggested by Jerry:  https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/suggestions-and-feedback/linux-lite-2-8-suggestion-thread/msg19908/#msg19908

With the 1024x600 screen I find that depending on the panel size you have set you may need a different size for the window, with a panel size of 32, control center worked well with the setting: 

Code: [Select]

window.set_size_request(880, 535) 
With the panel set to 40 like I use it, I had to set the window size to a smaller height.

Code: [Select]

window.set_size_request(880, 527)As seen in the following screen shot.

The maximum screen resolution on this old Acer aspire One is only 1024X600 that is the main reason I use an external monitor, that and my eyes not being what they used to be. 

I have played with this, and if I modify it to fit 1024X600 resolutions, everyone would have to resize the main window. After playing with this, it's not the best solution. You can edit /usr/share/litecc/litecenter.py yourselves and change:

Code: [Select]

window.set_size_request(880, 660)
to

Code: [Select]

window.set_size_request(880, 580)

Curious, I've made a similar change, have to look up the exact line, but it resets when theres an update.. Will this stick or possibly revert on a LLCC update?..
No biggie if does just a thought..

My notebook is also 1024 x 600 and the control center window is cut off at bottom.

In case you didn't know, you can turn off descriptions by right-clicking the Menu button (on your panel), then choose Properties and uncheck "Show application descriptions" under the Appearance tab.

Clean looking now no words cut off

I'd kill for a working, configurable XFCE sound system

[Coastie]

So system sounds is not in Linux Lite problem but a XFCE problem. Maybe they will add it in the future. Regardless XFCE is my favorite desktop environment. 

[torreydale]

Someone had it as a Wish List suggestion on the XFCE forum.  I just joined that forum today, and I seconded their suggestion.

I also suggested Window List thumbnails.

[Jerry]

Unfortunately getting sounds to work in XFCE is no cake walk - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/installing-software/enable-system-sounds-and-events/

[Coastie]

Sound effects for events like minimizing and opening windows, inserting and removing usb devices, etc.

  I like that idea. I have sound effects enabled but I don't get any. I guess it is not set up in Linux Lite.

@misko_2083, Oh well I thought the XFCE themes would be simple to make available. For me, I still use and recommend BleuFear to be included for a dark theme as I previously posted. It has worked with several versions of LL.

@Coastie BleuFear looks nice

Thanks gold-finger!

That has solved my query. Couldn't see the wood for the trees!  Must be getting old!
And thanks Jerry for the link to the developer.
Cheers!
