Hi Mark,
LXQt is very lightweight, and won't force you into an icon theme. You're free to
install one and choose it in Appearance settings. The only thing missing, as
Peter said, is the desktop slideshow feature, already proposed but not yet
implemented.
You should build from source, or get git packages. Stable packages are way too
old now. The next release is coming soon, though. If you get any trouble,
contact us.
Cheers,
Paulo Lieuthier

Sorry in advance for the basic nature of my question, but I have looked and
cannot really find an answer elsewhere.
I am interested in lxqt (version 0.11 I presume) for use as a basic desktop
environment to run on a Raspberry Pi 3 in use primarily as a KODI media center
with some very basic desktop functionality as well.
Specifically, the functionality I am interested in are:
1. A lightweight minimal CPU usage desktop. I know lxqt already meets this
requirement! I believe it's fairly "low memory usage as well. I like the
stated philosophy, "this desktop doesn't get in your way."
2. Desktop backgrounds (or wallpapers) in use as a desktop-background
"slideshow" not simply a single static image. I know that GNOME & KDE offer
this. I don't think LXDE or LXQT do? At least not the 0.10 version of lxqt.
This is not a "must have" for me, but it would be nice. I have read of others
who have added this functionality with a script so maybe I can work around this.
3. Ability to install a set of monochrome icons for the panel.
So, I know I can get all of this in a full desktop, but I am building multiple
desktop stations and I want to keep it as bloat-free and simple as possible
while still providing the basic functionality I need. I prefer the "look" of
Qt to Gtk apps so Qt is preferred.
Also, I am an experienced Linux user so I can build from source, etc... Should
I go on and build the source build of lxqt and give it a spin? Thanks in
advance for your responses!
