Tooltips, and some sort of "help" would be extremely useful! There were a few options that seemed unclear. Some of the options are vague. (this is the most needed area). Using icons to show what each option means would be very helpful as a visual reference And to be candid, the UI is not extremely pretty. There is no way to save or import a preconfigured set of apps/ actions. It is also completely unclear where these settings are saved. They are not in ~/.config/autostart (which is where I used to put xcompmgr, and thunar-volman, for DVD playback) Are you making the frontend in Qt (for future LXQt)? The Ubuntu SDK is very easy to make front ends, and you can use a lot of premade buttons, and other things to make it look nice. It might be worth considering using the SDK to develop some of the configuration tools. QProgram (if I remember... not much of a Qt person, yet) can even launch external programs. This could make a full System Settings/Control Panel type program. If you don't like this idea, please help me understand the short comings, I am not extremely familiar with the Qt framework, or if these SDK apps would work for the desktop or not. -- Regards
