There are bugs with the display of icons and others… LXQT is not perfect.

If you are referring to misalignment of icons on the bottom panel, it is not aligning to the left of panel because you have a huge spacer as the first item (widget) on the panel. You need to delete it. Right click on the panel -> Manage widgets and delete the spacer (click -).
Then all icons will be aligned from the left of panel as it should, App menu being first.

Kwin. When you change the LXQT theme, there are problems with changing the color scheme.

I did not go that far to test that. Changing LXQT themes worked fine so I assumed it is working as should.

People asked for KDE without elogind…

So is this your respin in response to the fact that KDE is going Wayland only and this Kwin SonicDE is an implementation of fork of KDE based on X11?
Now based on dinit and elogind-free, which means it implements KDE antiX?

I really don’t get this conman gui thing, despite bluetooth and wifi being on, it never shows up any wifi network and even my phone there and it hanged up after a while when I connected my phone to it with usb cable. Tried this in ventoy though.

[valeraMember]

Try installing connman-gtk. Now I’ll add and update the ISO.

You probably don’t understand what SonicDE is?
These are several packages to support the health of Plasma on x11. Plasma (SonicDE) depends on Logind( Elogind).
This build of LXQT with compositor by SonicDE (Kwin). This is the maximum that can be installed from Plasma without elogind.

Effects, animations, and window themes from Plasma are supported. Konsole, Kate, Gwenview, System monitor from KDE are installed. Dolphin was not fully functional, so it was replaced by Thunar.

Oh that means no Sonic Desktop Environment without elogind thus LXQT with SonicDE(Kwin) compositor for now, right?
Systemd and its components are really messing up with Linux distros, hopefully FreeBSD and other oses stay away from this thing.
First its systemd, then wayland, they are trying to kill user choice in foss/floss software ecosystem.
Man lots of best and good luck to you for working on this, take as much time as you want as no one wants to be controlled by some big companies.

Thank you! Gnome and Plasma are tied to Systemd and corporate funding.

Huge Thanks for everything and now I understood about SonicDE and also you are welcome. Stay positive despite these dark times. Will still be using Windows for now (its shindows 11 for me).

Your conversation with @valera and shaking up these details helped me understand this respin better.
From what I understand so far, and my understanding of antiX, @valera has done an amazing job in making this respin based on antiX, no systemd, no *elogind*, but look aand feel like plasma and include familiar functions…

Outstanding work @valera.
Unfortunately I’ve been very poor of time lately to study your mods in depth, but from a quick look I’ve seen you’ve put in a lot of work to take our Dinit implementation a few steps further in the right direction.

Just a couple of questions for now:
There few binaries & scripts under (/usr)/lib/dinit that didn’t return a value when querying with the dpkg -S command:
eg
/usr/lib/dinit/dbus-wait-for
/usr/lib/dinit/seedrng
/usr/lib/dinit/vconsole
…& others

Also another binary under
/usr/local/bin/dinit-dbus

Care to explain how you got these?
