Oh, there is no doubt now I think. RC4 is the final release.

I'm waiting for him here https://www.salixos.org/, so I can write a review.

Themes and icons are allways a bummer

But as Pat says "as usual we had to get everything just exactly perfect, and you just can't rush that."

When we fix a bug, two more appear...

For me, RC4 is working good.

I wonder if there will be a program (script?) that lets user do the upgrade 14.2 → 15 without new installation.

The mouse middle click is the best alternative for me but what intrigued me is that Hapan wants 4 minimum virtual desktops, So I remembered that Google uses a lot of drag menu and that to avoid handling errors with scroll bar, their sites use a wider scrollbar (when using Firefox and a recent GTK+ theme).
My dashboard is already full with my small screen I can't lose space with a horizontal bar:
32*1920=61440pixels 44*1080=47520pixels
double-row for you it's a double line for me

But I'm just here to help Gapan because Salix 14.2 was great help for me, not to push him in a other way than his own.

Hello SalixManiac,

you know, I was fucking dreaming of you and your issues, and since Gapan fucked you so badly with that 30 Px taskbar, I was tinkering on some workaround -- and I found it!

Dump that 'shitface' and install yourself IceWM!

I can easily make almost exactly the same distracting interface, with some almost white panel and the blue window top, but the best comes ...

I could easily make you a panel and the window top side only 18 Px tall, and you would have even more space on that 640x480 Pentium 1 powered beast. I'd even make you a very special 'SalMan' start-menu button!

And if this is also too tall, there's no problem to make you a 2 Pixel panel (s), BUT, there will be no icons on it, as the dust doesn't count as icon, and ONLY IF your ophthalmologist can make you appropriate trifocals -- for far, near, and for 'SalManIceWM' panel.

No joking -- I'll do it, if it helps you to get more space on that 1969 screen!

It even runs with less than 200 MB RAM, and with a lot of luck, even the Surf could start.

I even made myself an icon for it ...



... but considering the panel height in your case, the original might be much more suitable.



Here, the brown GTK-theme is only set up, so one could see anything at all ...





With normal black theme, there are no window borders whatsoever, no mini-/maximize/close icons ... they appear only when one moves the mouse cursor over them, but one doesn't know where to poke when everything is #000000 ... Would work with 2 Px panels just as well.




P.S.
Sorry, it just had to be -- I was jealous because I can't do any math if it's more than 1 AND 1, and I know at least 5 correct answers on that one ...

P.P.S.
Don't take it personal!
