The LXQt team announces the release of LXQt 0.16.0, the Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment.

Highlights

General

Translation through Weblate is up and running again.

LibFM-Qt / PCManFM-Qt

  • Options are added for switching to newly opened tab and opening tabs of last window.
  • File sorting is made more natural by treating dot as separator (like what GTK does — other aspects of file sorting aren't changed because Qt handles them best).
  • Several options are added to LXQt file dialog. All options are remembered.
  • DND into Desktop trash and also moving Desktop files into Desktop folders by DND are fixed.
  • An option is added for opening desktop folders inside the default file manager (which may not be PCManFM-Qt) when they are left clicked. By default, desktop folders are opened in PCManFM-Qt.
  • Several enhancements and fixes.

LXQt Panel

  • Status Notifier supports customizable auto-hiding.
  • Task buttons can move windows to the next screen.
  • Main menu items have right-click menus for some actions.
  • The sizes and alignments of some plugins are fixed at startup.
  • An option is added for putting ungrouped task buttons of the same application next to each other.

LXQt Configuration

  • Several Qt palette colors are added to lxqt-config-appearance. Qt styles that accept platform palettes (like Fusion) can be customized by lxqt-config-appearance.
  • "Default Applications" are added to lxqt-config-file-associations for setting the default web browser, file manager and email client.
  • The UI of lxqt-config-brightness is improved.
  • A crash is fixed in lxqt-config-monitor.

LXQt Power Management

A Power keys section is added to the config dialog for customizing the actions of power, suspend and hibernation keys.

QTerminal / QTermWidget

  • Closing of tabs by middle-clicking is made optional.
  • An option is added for opening the new tab to the right of the active tab.
  • The drop-down QTerminal is always put on the screen with the cursor.

LXImage Qt

  • Images can be resized now.
  • Ambiguous shortcuts are prevented.
  • An action is added for copying file paths.
  • Start the app on the screen with the mouse cursor when opening images.
  • More image types are supported.
  • A depreciation notice is added to screenshot command line options.

LXQt Archiver

Now, bsdtar (belonging to libarchive) is used to open and extract RPM packages correctly.

libQtXdg

  • QtXdg MimeApps Tool (qtxdg-mat) is enhanced to support setting/getting of the default email client, file manager and web browser.
  • Fixes.

LXQt Desktop Notifications

An option is added for showing notifications on the screen with the mouse pointer.

PulseAudio Volume Control

Random crashes are fixed when connecting to Bluetooth audio devices.

LXQt Themes

Three themes are added: Clearlooks, Leech and Kvantum.

LXQt Session

The Default Applications page is removed because default applications are now handled by the File Associations dialog more efficiently.
