What can I say? Welcome!!! :-) We need people like you very much. I'm looking forward to your patches for both code or themes. The visual style of U-lite is great and I like it very much.
Here are parts that needs attention: 1. Lxpanel: feature-rich, but buggy. Systray crash sometimes. Taskbar buttons overflow when there are too many windows. 2. LXLauncher: background image support/theming support 3. LXAppearance: might has some minor bugs 4. LXTask: this is the most buggy one. ported from xfce4-task-manager with all xfce dependencies removed. I originally want to improve it, but later I have no spare time. 5. LXDM: the new display manager is promising but it's currently buggy. Consolekit and plymouth might have problems. Have some minor bugs. 6. LXRandR: currently in unmaintained status 7. LXMusic: actively developed, but still lacks some basic features, such as drag and drop to reorder the play list. 8. LXShortcut: currently in unmaintained status, originally planned features are not finished. Unable to integrate well with other componenets as well as planned. 9. LXTerminal: works ok, but has some minor bugs, currently unmaintained. 10.LXNM: this one is broken, incomplete, and seems to be dropped by original author already 11.LXSession: need some rework, especially autostart semantics and dbus support. 12.GPicView should be ported to use GtkImageView, and file I/O should be changed to use gio-based multi-threading asynchronous I/O. Last, but not the least, the new file manager pcmanfm2 + libfm. Personally I think this is the most revolutionary part since it underwent a total rewrite from scratch. Also, this is the most buggy part at this moment. So if you're willing to working on this, it will be highly appreciated. Future: 1. We need udisks-based volume manager to handle removable device in file manager when gvfs is not installed. gvfs is bound to gnome-disk-utility and gio cannot do removable volume management without gvfs. 2.We need to reimplement trash can support ourselves as the one provided by gvfs has many unresolved problems and limitations. 3.More system config tools Or, do you have other new ideas?
