Good news, that I have now a basic LXDE running on TC 2.5 :) Of course there is a lot to do with its configuration, adding TC related menues, packaging, etc. but soon I will post first version for testing.

I submitted the basic LXDE for publication, will apear soon in the repo.

It is tested on stock TC 2.5 both with VESA and Xorg. Install LXDE.tcz which will load all components as dependencies.

LXDE is a modular system. Optional elements will be sent one by one a bit later when core is finalized.

To make sure that LXDE starts and not openbox, use 'tinycore desktop=lxde' boot option. You can add 'noicons' also to get rid of wbar which is not visible so no reason to run it.

The whole installed extension set is 16.5Mbyte. By default lxterm is there which is not really needed as aterm is there, but I like its features (tabbing, etc.) so I added it. It is around 600k in size. LXDE is not using DBUS/HAL This can be added using another version of pcmanfm compiled with HAL support, but lets see later it but only as an option, not to the base pack.

I tried to find some menu having the MC/TC Tools as provided by the desktop menus in the other WM:s supported by TC/MC. Is that to be found somewhere?

Not yet, but you find the most crucials on the desktop:

- exittc
- appbrowser
- cpanel

This is the first version, collecting feedback.

Fully understand the young nature of these extensions. I just wanted to avoid trying to find something that could not be found at the moment  :)

Thanks for LXDE ! It's a great addition.

I have LXDE loaded on microcore / xvesa. I don't get the gear icons for cpanel or appbrowser on the desktop. Also when I mount an application like opera I don't see any menu entry or desktop icon.
