It's held in the moderator queue. If attachments are not ok, I uploaded it for viewing.[1] Another couple things come to mind (that stood out to me after years of LXDE use): 1. The login screen would benefit from a spinning hourglass (indicating it's doing something). It wasn't clear to me if I should press enter, or click the tile (which lent to my perception of the theme looking tiled, touchscreen'ish, the style that seems like a fad today, but maybe it really is popular and it's just me who's a Luddite.). There's no "ok" button to click. When I pressed enter, it didn't do anything for a long time. So, clicked on the tile a few times. When the desktop appeared, it wasn't clear to me what made it happen. I've since learned to be patient and pressing enter makes it happen. (But, a progress indicator would be nice.). 2. LXDE Lubuntu had a "desktop switcher" in the panel (bottom of desktop). That switcher showed a mini thumbnail of the desktop. A visual hint about the windows open on that desktop. I miss that a lot. Sometimes I would move a window over there for safe keeping. I might forget about it. When I logged out (shutdown, whatever) I would quickly look at that panel widget as a sanity check. Now I have to go to that desktop and look (lest I close an app improperly, corrupt something, lose something, etc.). 3. As someone recently mentioned, I liked having Suspend on the login screen. I might let my laptop go untouched for a couple hours. It will lock. Then I get the idea to somewhere, and want to suspend the laptop while I'm gone. It was easy to just click the icon and choose "Suspend" from the list of options. Now I have to sign back in to do that. It was a convenience. Is there a way to edit that and make it how I want it to be (background color, etc?). I used to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and customize it. That file doesn't seem to exist now.
