I agree.would love it if they manage to provide a package repo with packages configured to not require systemd unless absolutely required. In my opinion that is the important part of the project...and the one requiring the most work.

yea uncheck the font color box when you switch to system theme and that should fix the invisible clockThe system theme makes the speaker visible and the time almost invisible
What don't you like about the file manager? I'm not fond of the tree-view side panel. And I haven't figured out how to add tools or plugins. Well, that's not entirely true - I could add the first tool, but now I can't add more. I do like that it's fast compared to thunar.

Anything in particular you want users to test or play with?
Do you plan something like this to be the default refracta release or is this just something extra?

Yea that is probably my problem too. But I find myself clicking on everything and still not quite getting what I want. But it probably is just learning it and getting it configured the way I want it....if I even know what I want.I really haven't figured it out yet.
Not sure how long before I get bored and wipe it but I can certainly play with it for a bit.Play with any of it and see if it breaks when the next round of updates come through (or any subsequent), or add some of dzz's (or anyone else's) repackaged packages, and see if those break.
As for the last question, I still don't know the answer to that. Earlier in the year, I was thinking that the official release would have both sysvinit and systemd. I've got a sid installation with that, and it was fine up until recently - I can no longer boot it with sysvinit. Haven't investigated to see what the problem is.
Yea lol, I think I mentioned all those same things to you in the past.I never could decide. I recall you mentioning that you liked having a rolled iso ready to go when I talked about just dropping the respin and instead just focusing on the tools. I guess it really comes down to doing whatever you want to do as you are doing the work. I just could never decide what I actually wanted to do, or should I say that what I wanted to do seemed to change each week.I've also thought about having no official versions, just a bunch of unofficial versions, maybe concocted by different people, and I've thought about having just a minimal version with the tools to make your own. My feeling is that the tools are the most important thing, because no two people want the exact same setup
