And +1 for the blue looks lovely :). I think green should be added for lubuntu 10.10, when there is time to complete it right, rather than now. Julien Lavergne wrote: +1 for the first, for consistency. For now, the theme is only blue. Introducing a green part mean that the artwork need to

Right now few things use the messaging indicator, and most are things not even in lubuntu by default. Those that do (like pidgeon) still also continue to support the classic notification workspace as well. Julien Lavergne wrote: Hi, I played a bit with the indicators applets (the new applets

Ultimately I think mplayer is a problem, at least from the perspective of being an official variant, and especially with respect to codecs. That being said, I am also aware many will choose to install mplayer if it's not in the default install, as I am aware many use medibuntu repos. Leszek

Ubuntu flavors are not LTS in the same way as Ubuntu itself. LTS I think has a specific meaning that implies with it Canonical paid support as being valid for those who have service contracts for the same period, and there is no Canonical paid support for Lubuntu or other community spins.

I actually was not suggesting there should be such a remix. I was suggesting however that one could potentially do this with mini-iso install by selecting them explicitly at install time if we have lxde desktop as a task in mini-iso. And yes, one could do a server install and add lxde/lubuntu

I see no reason Lubuntu for Karmic could not be called a beta or preview of Lubuntu or similar. In respect to qt, the toolkit itself is not that large. One problem is matching qt themes (fonts, colors, controls) and preferences with gtk. If we have default settings that match, then I see no
