[Lubuntu-desktop] The rewrite of LXAppearance2 is finished today.
As stated in previous posts, LXAppearance is currently being rewritten. Today, the rewrite is finished. Now LXAppearance becomes the most feature-rich Gnome-free gtk+ theme changer. If the gtk+ theme you use supports color schemes, such as Clearlooks, you can customize these colors in LXAppearance, just like what you can do in gnome-appearance-properties. For screenshot: http://blog.lxde.org/?attachment_id=780 Later, LXAppearance2 will replace LXAppearance and move to lxappearance git repository. Main features of LXApppearance2: 1.Depends on gtk+ only. Can work completely without gnome. 2.Friendly and Gnome HIG compliant user interface 3.Provides real-time preview of the selected themes 4.Changes icon theme 5.Changes cursor theme in a almost desktop independent way. 6.Supports color schemes. You can change the color used by themes if the themes support gtk color scheme. 7.Able to install/remove icon and cursor themes in a user-friendly way 8.Provides additional options for gtk toolbars 9.Able to turn off event sound provided by libcanberra-gtk-module. 10.Changes default font used by gtk+ applications 11.Although this is a LXDE component, it works perfectly well outside LXDE and it has no LXDE dependencies. To get the latest source code in development: git clone git://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/lxde/lxappearance2 (This repo will become invalid once the code is moved to master branch of the original lxappearance repo.) A note for translators: Please don't start the translation now. The UI is not frozen now. I'm still waiting for user feedbacks. In addition, the English strings need some proof reading before being translated. The translation should be started after lxappearance2 is moved to the original lxappearance repo. The original master branch of old lxappearance will be moved to another branch for backup. Please get it heavily tested and give some feedbacks. Patches are also welcomed. Cheers! ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDE PPA for packages from Lubuntu unstable version
Hi Julien, I added the ppa to my 10.04 version, upon booting it just seems to display a dark screen. I can log onto the system via Crtl-Alt-F2, which reports that X is running. I've used ppa-purge to back the ppa out, but will be happy to give it another try if there are any things you'd like me to check up on. (I've got to add, I'm very impressed with ppa-purge). Regards, Phill. P.S. As the new Hard drive is settled in and I have my system pretty much as I need it, I'll be joining 10.10 testing with the next alpha, sorry to be late to the party. I'll also get it uploaded to the server. Would you like me to take the alpha2 down at that point, or would you rather me keep it there (disk space is not an issue on there), and just edit the wiki area to point to the alpha3?

It's useful if you want to test versions from Maverick without upgrading all your system. It's also useful for people who want to report bugs to test with those packages first, to see if the bug is already fixed. However, there is less testing with those packages, so if you want to keep your system more stable, don't use this PPA.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDE PPA for packages from Lubuntu unstable version
Hi Jerry, we have to wait for the a3 of ubuntu 'main' to be released to build lubuntu against, so it can be a day or two behind the 'main' release. Rest assured it will be here soon :-) Regards, Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved
Hi Julien, The new page has been added https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationTeam volunteers needed :-) Can I make a point of thanking everyone who does spend time on the Wiki area. Being able to answer a question on #lubuntu with a direct link to one of the articles is a great help. I'd also like to point everyone on the mailing list over to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1546713 I guess that's one explanation of why we do it. Kindest Regards, Phill.

Possibly rephrase to If you are interested in contributing in one or more of these areas, please click on the areas above that you would like to help with Good for me. I'd also like to add Documentaion to the list of areas where people can apply to. With having Zach along for helping with wiki format etc. we do now have some extra resources in man-hours and knowledge to be able to have a sub-team (plus I know a couple of others who will help). Sure :) I'll continue to improve technicals wiki pages when I have time.
