New default wallpaper thanks to M1C4HTRON13.

Docky’s Clementine helper now works.

Image

Nearly all the final apps and features are now installed and working.

Image

Both Conky themes are now working.

Image

Gloobus preview is working great.

Image

Alt+Mouse Wheel now zooms the desktop.

Also all the added extra drivers for wifi cards are now included and also the nouveau-firmware. This should help out people having problems with nVidia graphics cards and for those that couldn’t get wireless working.

Running the installer in the live session is a bit hit and miss. If you have problems with the installer in the live session, install it directly from the boot menu.
There is still an issue with encrypting the home when installing so leave that unticked for now.

VirtualBox is a no go. Its driver actually broke the 64-bit kernel. So to test the distro use it live with either a DVD disc or USB.

It still needs tidying up and bug fixing. The menu also needs some work. Need to hide and rearrange a few of the items in the menu.
