Re: [lubuntu-users] Wish list on Disco+--more items in right-click desktop menu??
Something else came to mind: In previous Lubuntu (with LXDE), you could right click on the start-menu items and "Add to desktop" (or "Properties"). In the new LXQt desktop, right clicking is like left clicking (it executes the item in the menu). I miss that LXDE feature. (I struggled to put Qt terminal on the desktop as part of my memory-use benchmarking.). (Something I like very much in LXQt is how renaming a file in PCManFM lets you type over the filename displayed in the panel beneath its icon/thumbnail. In LXDE, a popup would appear. That always seemed unpolished/clunky. I like this new way.). -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

@Mark F: Sounds like fun, I'm in U-MATE 18.04+ LTS as I'm typing this, the bottom panel has "auto-hide" . . . but didn't seem to offer "smart hide" . . . it just was "hiding" until I moused over it . . . . "Smart-hide" does sound, smart . . . . F You reminded me of something I saw in Peppermint (I think, it's all a blur now. If I find it was MATE, I'll post a correction): the panel/task-bar (whatever it's called on the bottom of the screen) has an option for "smart hide." It will remain in view until a window covers it. Then it behaves like auto-hide. I thought someone should win the Nobel for thinking of that! It's lie the best of both worlds.

AFAIK this function first appeared in the Unity launcher on Ubuntu. It was removed again later, which saddened me. It's a very nifty feature but for me it only works well on certain screen sizes. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

[lubuntu-users] Wish list on Disco+--more items in right-click desktop menu??
Gents, et al: Seems like a flurry of activity on the list lately . . . as it seems like more folks are now "playing with Disco" . . . . As I spend more time with it, it is providing a nice GUI experience overall . . . as mentioned previously having the "suspend" button on the log in window would be value added. Also, I recently installed Siduction into another partition, based on Debian Sid, and it is the first time in awhile that a Debian system installed and ran well on my Mac computers . . . it also does have some "issues" . . . but, one feature that seems "nice" is that the right-click menu from the desktop provides a large list of items to choose from, rather than having to click on the menu launcher . . . including the "leave" function, which then clicking on, shows "suspend" and/or "shut down" . . . etc . . . very handy . . . very "powerful." In comparison, when I right-clicked on the desktop in Disco Lu 19+ . . . it is a short list of functions . . . possibly relating to "OpenBox" . . . which I have thought was another DE option that used to go along with "LXDE" back in the day . . . at the bottom of the list was "exit" . . . hmmm, what could that do? Clicking "exit" . . . seemed to do nothing, except now the FF window no longer had the what?? window toolbar with the options to minimize or close or drag the window around . . . and the window was now covering the main control panel at the top of the display . . . took a few minutes to get to the menu launcher to log out . . . Logging back in and the Openbox toolbar on the FF window was back in place. The moral of this story is . . . if there were more features to play with on right-clicking on desktop in Lu . . . I would not have been tempted to click "exit" while in Lubuntu DE . . . and all of the window toolbar problems could have been avoided . . . .
