Re: lxappearance NOT!

That's weird, I can shift through Widget themes under LXappearance -> Window ... it is Obconf that changes only the window border.

rar and unrar support

Is there a way to manually add it? I have both rar and unrar installed and Thunar recognizes the package but it seems that PcManFM has a problem with that (both for compression and extraction). Also, is there anything similar to Custom Actions, so I could Compress and send to an open pidgin conversa...

pidgin toggle not working when decorations are hidden

I configured the lxde-rc.xml file and set Pidgin windows to have no decoration just to find out later that the buddy list toggle hotkey (from the hotkeys plugin) would no longer work. It wasn't until I removed the app entry in the xml file that my shortcut (CTRL + COMMA) worked once again. <applicat...

Re: PCMANFM vs THUNAR

I have been using PCManFM for a while now and I've noticed it's way faster than Thunar. I guess I'll have to go for speed here since that is the main reason why I installed LXDE (I think I've come to prefer it over other WM/DE's anyway :D) One thing I noticed today is that PCManFM seems to have no l...

Re: pcmanfm - '~' is MyDocuments at desktop?

"Consider the conventions of both GNOME and Windows, and try to follow the habit of most users. Do not deliberately make the GUI quite different only because you want to be different from Windows. Usability is always the top one concern. Windows might not be good in some areas, but like it or ...
