Hi, I've been quiet recently because I'm too busy at work. Now it's time for some status report. I'm still busy this week, but next week I'll have more time. 1. The new LXAppearance and its obconf plugin seem to work well and no big issue was found so far. Later I'll fix the translation problems. Then it's time to have a new release. I noticed that Andrea Florio bump the version number directly from 0.2.0 to 0..5.0. Is this version number good?
2. I started to work on LightDM developed by Robert Ancell and already finished a new gtk+ greeter which is more flexible than the default one. It's highly themable and the theme can be edited with Glade in a WYSIWYG way, which makes it unique. The code is here: http://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lxde/ldm-gtk-builder-greeter;a=summary Of course, it's for the brave, not for daily use. Use at your own risks. 3. Theme support of LXLauncher has been added in a branch, but the implementation is not good enough. Maybe I'll try to port the theming part of my LightDM greeter to it. The greeter is very simple and flexible. Dgod, if you want, you can port it to lxdm, too. It should be very simple and requires modification of less than 100 lines of code. 4. File searching utility is added to PCManFM during Google SoC by Shae Smittle, but it's not yet integrated with the latest git. Later he'll do it after school work gets settled. 5. GPicView has been rewritten during GSoC and it now became feature rich. However it's still too buggy for daily use. Later I'll try to fix it for shk. 6. The file manager is still buggy. I fixed some of them and others are still being worked on. I hope there can be 0.9.8 release at the end of this month. Here are the status updates for LXDE. Thank you all. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
