If you like the economy of working in a lightweight desktop environment such as LXDE, you no doubt will love the tweaked performance of the LXQt desktop. It is a fusion of the LXDE and Razor-Qt desktop environments. The LXQt hybrid is the next generation of the popular Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. The result is a lightweight, modular, very fast desktop environment that is user-friendly. LXQt 0.7.0 is a stable desktop environment that is usable in production desktop machines.
'the ability to right click anywhere on the desktop to access the main menu.'
That little beauty can be enabled from
[desktop settings].
This is the terminal I spend most of my waking hours staring at so it needs to be pretty as well as functional. LXQt lets me add the little touches that make this desktop a pleasure to work with.
I'd love to see the enhancements of Terminator available in QTerminal (esp, dropdown), but hey, that's the beauty of open source.
Anyhow, the change is in..
Preferences -> LXQT Settings -> Desktop
on the Advanced tab there's an item
'Window Manager'
with a check box
'Show menus provided by window manager when desktop is clicked'
Put a tick in the box,
hit [apply].
Right click on the desktop.
Smile
Sigh with relief.
Currently running Ubuntu 19.10
OpenBox Window manager
LXQt Desktop
possibly a holdover from ~/.config/xfce4 but it works.
Nicely written, and I must agree. Even though it's still in it's infancy, LXQt has come from good stock and inherited the better characteristics of it's parents.
