Re: Is there any point in converting the partition to ext4 in my situation? [Solved]

Agreed, that is a side effect. It's less of an issue for me since I can still change the permissions for the occasional file or marked files in the file manager as needed. Easier that setting 500,000 files and folders to 644/755. I think it was MX-16 that did NOT mount NTFS and exFAT as 777 like it ...

Re: Is there any point in converting the partition to ext4 in my situation? [Solved]

I never had a lick of trouble reading and writing to NTFS with MX-Linux, except for one caveat: all files and directories would mount with full Read-Write-Execute (777) permissions. Not good at all! Fortunately, a solution that works perfectly was posted by 'fehlix' here... https://forum.mxlinux.org...

Remaster setting persistence?

How can I make the settings in Live Remaster persistent? Such as:
remaster-type
include home
delete leftovers
etc...

I ALWAYS use the same settings and this would make things faster and easier.

Workplace switcher icon brightness?

In XFCE a two-finger tap on the touchpad brings up a workspace switcher popup that includes a list of open apps with icons. Minimized app icons are dimmed. How do I make those icons remain full brightness at all times? I do not want to turn off compositing, in case that is one of the options. There ...

Re: Who provides gtk2 support

I use this to discover which installed packages depend on gtk2...

# list apps that depend on gtk2...
apt-cache rdepends --installed libgtk2.0-0 | tail -n +3 | sort

I have a few that I hope will not stop working if/when gtk2 goes away.

Workspace Menu pop-up icon brightness?

I prefer the Panel icons to be full brightness at all times, so I hard-set the opacity in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with: .tasklist .label-hidden { opacity: 1.0 } This works for XFCE 4.18 on MX-21.3. I would like to do the same with the icons in the Workspace Menu that pops up with a two-finger tap ...
