This round was all about getting the GTK and openbox themes updated a bit, and a new Auto Themes dialog which provides for changing the highlight colors of three of the themes on the fly. When using the highlight changer for the first time, you will also find a readme in ~/.themes if you have questions, or folks can always ask on the forum if something is not understood. All of this is still a work in progress, but a definite leap forward in the theming area). What's new: - New Auto theme changer...

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm in the process of learning how to set it up before moving onto Live Install on the PC. Thanks, I joined the forum. This probably is the best Debian Distro and I love it! It reminds me of how LMDE used to be, polished and refined . I loved LMDE even though Cinnamon has always been memory hog. The LMDE 6 upgrade hasn't been smooth transition for me. So glad I found Lilidog. Regards
Thank you for your kind words! Super glad you are enjoying Lilidog. Transferring settings directly from a VM probably wouldn't be realistic, as there are a lot of different toggles and such that would revert back on installation. However, once setup after install, you should be able to keep all your settings on reboot without much trouble. Please note that there will be a new release on or about 2-10-2024, and it may be worthwhile to wait a few days from now to have any upgraded or changed items....
G'day, thanks for this amazing OS. "Sweet!" is the only word I've got to describe Lilidog. I've been testing this OS on virtualbox, to get a feel for it. Would is be possible to save the desktop session? Would it be possible to have start up apps going when I log in? Like gammy, gufw firewall, a weather app like Meteo, sticky notes and Onboard keyboard? Please consider releasing a Devuan version . Peppermint OS offers a Devuan version. I'm not comparing, both distros are great, I like both! I love...
