What I miss from LXLE v14 that isn't in v16
  • After installing LXLE version 16.04.2, I feel like it is a bit of a downgrade from a past version of LXLE.

    There is no apparent option to control when the screen turns black.  I had to search the forums to find somewhat of a solution, it is complicated, and that just turns off the option of the screen ever turning black, at all.

    There are no screen savers.  I liked having a fun screensaver show up after my computer has been idle for after an hour.  My favorite was Pac-man, but I also liked the one with spaceships flying around and shooting missiles at each other.  Screen savers are a fun thing to have on a computer screen, and supposedly they protected computer monitors, somehow.  I still use an ancient monitor that is over a decade old.

    I also liked the small box that used to appear at the top right corner of the screen that displayed CPU usage and download / upload rate.  I often looked at the box when browsing web pages & watching online videos to see if things are running smoothly, or to decide to refresh the page.  I miss that box.

    Could you please bring these things back in a future version of LXLE?  I miss them.

    Also, there is one feature added to this version which I find totally useless: screen locking.  Since I am the only person who uses my PC, there is absolutely zero need to ever lock the screen.  If you're going to have it, please make is simple to disable it.

    sorry... I've been streamlining LXLE for some time now. Getting rid of wasteful resources while trying to have a replacement for them. The new system takes a little getting used to but out of all the respins I've done this one is my favorite... you might want to give the new RC a spin and always be sure to check the help file in the accessories menu as it takes you to the wiki page..
