However, Ctrl + Z shortcut for undoing the unwanted changes does not work here. Remember the non-working drawing icons in the image viewer in Lubuntu 19.04? Thankfully, they work this time: What’s the point of even using this app right now? etc), so this rendered the entire point of system monitoring useless. Instead, it changes them continuously per each second, so would have to click on that red underlined button to stop the monitoring, and then inspect the program you want to monitor.īut guess what? Since you stopped the monitoring (in order to not lose the current program you monitor because its location is changing), you also stopped updating the performance matrices (RAM, CPU. The program does not fix the location of the items in the window list. The issue with it – apart from its interface being quite horrible – is that normally you would be monitoring the performance of a specific window: Lubuntu 20.04 uses a system monitor program called qps. One area to be credited, however, is that the panel appearance is very customizable You can adjust its text and background colors, along with making it use a different icon theme then your desktop icon theme:Ĭlosing the lid of the laptop does nothing in Lubuntu 20.04 There’s an option to change that from the power settings, but by default, if you close the lid of your laptop it would continue to run just like before. If you try to remove a file, you would normally just use Shift + Delete and hit Enter, but in LXQt the default option is set to No unlike all the other desktop environments on Linux, so you have to also use the Left key and then press Enter: One area of improvement, however, is that they finally added an option for “Thumbnail view” in the file chooser dialog (Before in the 19.04 release, you would never be able to see the image before you select it): Instead, a menu would appear asking you what to do? If you drag and drop any file/folder to any other folder, it won’t be moved there automatically. In their defense, there’s an option to open the folder in the terminal, but only in the “Tool” menu in the upper menu of the file manager, not in the context menu: There’s one to open the selected folder in terminal, so they expect you to go back up by a level, and then open the folder in the terminal using that menu, and then go back to the folder again: The issue you would notice in the file manager is that there’s no context-menu item to open the current folder in the terminal: I open the file manager, and it is displayed in this layout for me by default, there’s no attention to details or even basic UX in LXQt: It looks like the developers’ solution to this problem was only by expecting users to create a new quick launch area, and then dragging the wanted icons for each area:Īt this point I was wondering whether all of this is real or not? You literally can’t add icons to the panel: And it is such an transition when you do so:ĭo you wonder why we opened the panel configuration window? Because we wanted to figure out how to add some damn launchers to the panel, but we discovered that this is an impossible task in LXQt. If you open the panel configuration window, you’ll see that you can not resize it vertically, only horizontally. While any other sane desktop environment would display both of them in the same indicator so that it doesn’t create a visual pollution on the panel: Notice how there are two battery icons on the panel, each representing a different battery in my laptop. LXQt does not automatically remove the old shortcut if it uses the same key of the new shortcut, instead, it keeps both of them and expects you to choose the behavior you want to run when you hit the key: The same issue of brightness management on laptops in Lubuntu 19.04 is still there in 20.04 You can not adjust brightness from any widget on the panel, you have to open a separate window for brightness adjustment and keep that damn window open all the time so that you can change brightness in different periods of the day (A reminder that using keyboard shortcuts does not give you the desired brightness level in LXQt):Īlso, the same keyboard shortcuts issue is still there You create a new shortcut, only to discover that it doesn’t work. LXQt is still a horrible desktop environment, despite the fact that it has been around for years now. This is the default Lubuntu 20.04 desktop:
