  Is there a way to show the clock in the top bar?
Posted by: UglyStuff - 09-01-2020, 11:00 AM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

Since I've installed Lite on a 15" MacBook Pro, I've decided to hide the Menu bar to maximize window display. Thing is, when i do that, I can't see the clock anymore, unless I trigger the Whisker Menu with the Command key.

I believe there's a way to add the clock, without or without date, in the top bar / application bar, but i can't find where in the Settings.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

PS: I thought I could easily add a screenshot to illustrate what I mean by top bar, but you can't easily do that, and I'm pressed for time.

  Is there a file explorer with a tree structure browser
Posted by: konan - 09-01-2020, 03:40 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

I  have just installer Linux lite - 'really like it except the file explorer that comes with it doesn't have a convenient tree structure in a left pane, like that of Windows Explorer.
Is there one that I can download and install on Linux Lite?  I see Konqueror has this but it says it is for KDE. I don't believe L-Lite is KDE. Is this right, or could I use Konqueror?

Thanks!!

  Icons are in /usr/share/icons, but I can't apply them
Posted by: UglyStuff - 08-31-2020, 06:42 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (6)

Hi everyone,

I've downloaded, unzipped and copied icon sets to my /usr/share/icons folder, but when I go to Appearance and try to apply said icons, they're not in the list.

I've rebooted several times, I can't find them.

When I sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/*, I get an error message for one of the sets (Arc-ICONS), but that's it.

  Hello Linux World.
Posted by: astro - 08-31-2020, 10:51 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (3)

Hello from one who is making the transition from Windows to Linux.

I've downloaded  several lightweight Linux distros trying to find one that a) works more or less straight out of the box, b) I'm comfortable with and c) offers good support. Linux Lite looks like it may be the best compromise for my aged hardware, a Samsung N110 netbook.

So far, so good. The only thing giving me trouble is getting Blueman to free up my Bluetooth serial port for other software to use. Details to follow, when I get totally lost, as I don't speak 'Linux' very well yet.

I hope this is the right place to post. I am on holiday and brought my HP streamx360 with Lite5.Everything was fine until two hours ago when I switched on and I was asked for my password.  This is disabled so I was surprised but gave it my usual pass for updates etc. It accepts then 10 seconds later asks again and again. Totally confused, can anybody help ?

How do I disable tooltips in Linux Lite 5? Tooltips are the little info boxes that pop up when hovering the mouse over an icon, especially an icon in a panel.

Thanks.

  Ivideon Client Problem
Posted by: AposChatz382 - 08-28-2020, 01:51 PM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

Just in case anyone was trying to install Ivideon Client on LL 5.0 or Ubuntu 20.04. I contacted the support team and informed that it currently does not work:

Dear User,

The SSL security certificates were changed in Ubuntu 20.04, so currently the released version of the Ivideon Client doesn't work with Ubuntu 20.04.

The updated version of Ivideon Client will support the Ubuntu 20.04 and it will be released very soon. Our specialists will definitely contact you.

I hope this will help some people.
