I made an exit icon for TC (attached) and I think it looks better than the current one. But that's just my opinion. Thanks.

And smaller in size too. Thanks for your effort. Will be in next cut.

Probably issue I noticed has nothing to do with the core but rather with extensions, but since it is RC forum I think this is the right place to report...
What I am experiencing (after many repetitive tests) is that with Hackedbox, after loading Xorg (which is necessary for resolution) if Chromium is installed (or sometimes Firefox), it messes up the Wbar, effectively making it useless and necessitating reboot...
Steps to re-create:
1. Boot TC
2. Install Xorg
3. Install Hackedbox
4. CTRL+ALT+Backspace
5. startx
6. Install Chromium (or Firefox, depending on Hackedbox theme)
After this the Wbar is quite messed up to the point of useless if you try to start Chromium of Firefox.
It is possible it might be specific to my hardware but at this point it does not look like it...
This problem does not happen with Openbox.

jur:
I can confirm the hackedbox problem but it can be reproduced with Xvesa ie a clean TC and hackedbox. It has to do with the background fake transparency of wbar but is not a problem with other WMs.

It is also not limited to tc2.11rc3.

meanpt:
 :) The problems I experienced before in RC1 and RC2 are almost gone.

1. VirtualBox folder sharing with Windows - OK
2. Installing ("installing"= selecting the application tcz in the application browser, clicking "install" and wait for the downloading and installation of all dependencies and the application itself) applications are achieved until completion without interruptions

Remaining stuff which I don't know if are meant to stay as an option of the developers and community:

3. Some applications, after being installed ("installing"= selecting the application tcz in the application browser, clicking "install" and waiting for the download and installation of all dependencies and the application itself), are shown in the Applications menu (e.g. XFE, XFW, XFI, XFV) while others don't (e.g. Abiword, Shiretoko, Midori), despite, for the later ones, their icons being displayed in the dock bar. I got this around by putting the later ones as "On Demand" (I suppose I don't need to explain how I did this), which even improved the boot speed without sacrificing to much the starting speed of the applications.

4. In live mode, with 400 MB of RAM allowed for the VB virtual machine, I installed the gnome icon themes (as recommended) and epiphany (again, "installation= ...."), which didn't show nor in the Applications menu nor in the dock bar, and when I tried to run it from the terminal (by writing "epiphany" at the terminal prompt and waiting for it to run),  I got:

 - 3 lines in terminal displaying each the same next text:
"Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.="
- a pop up window displays:
as Title: Could not start Gnome Web Browser
as explaining text: Startup failed because of the following error: Failed to create directory "/home/tc/gnome2/epiphany"

That's all.

Following the report from meanpt I'd like to add my 2 cents ...

I believe that the 3. point reported is the same as in reply #10, point (2). And I think Robert has made a change for it already.

Furthermore WRT 'epiphany.tcz' I guess the menu and wbar problems are a consequence from the fact that the 'epiphany.desktop' file doesn't contain an 'X-FullPathIcon' entry. I had a bit of a look over some other extensions and it appears that there are quite a few to which this also applies. I assume that there will be a fuller migration of all extensions as time progresses.

Another point is the (already know) fact that 'webkit.tcz' (which 'epiphany.tcz' depends on) is currently "broken" due to the rebuild of 'icu.tcz'. In my test I therefore did not even get as far as seeing a window pop up.
