Okay, 1.0 up and running. Gotta love cd-rws. Anyway, I see two problems, and 3 annoyances.

Problem 1, 1.0 seems to make thunderbird load 3x as slow, needing multiple clicks on the icon, or from the fluxbox menu. (I think the icon is broke, though they both share the same command) Problem 2, the fluxter, after editing my init file for a 100% extended toolbar and its restart, goes back over to the bottom left side, and doesn't stay in the slit.

Annoyance 1. Lack of the old themes/styles. Maybe they can be uploaded to the mydsl repository.
Annoyance 2. Everything seems bigger. I think it is. (I press cancel on xsetup, just like I did for .9.3) Is this X related? Was it reconfigured?
Annoyance 3, again, I think an X problem. The Color is off from the settings in .9.3. I'm using xmms as a reference for this. The standard skin for xmms looked darker, and more vivid then it does now.

Actually, one more annoyance. A major one. The new mydsl app. Bring back the old one. It was nicer and had the ablitly to mount the optional drive. It also showed you the red, green status of a mydsl.

In the meantime, you can get them from the fluxbox site, though you'll have to figure out how to unpack them and put them in the right dirs.
Or, of course, you could boot up an older version of DSL and save the themes from there. Make a filetool.lst consisting only of the home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles and home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds dirs, run backup, and you have a nicely packaged extension of the old themes.

Congratz DSL is getting very very nice!

As this is RC1 you probably want some postive criticism ;). Well I think the doc viewer should be made default to open doc files in emelfm.

I'd like the newest dillo. There's not even a find feature (what u get with ctrl+f) in dillo 0.7.3 :s. Nor is there the search feature (to search google or whatever). And many other improvements which came in dillo since 0.7.3.

I'd like the fluxbox nyz style included. It's ok to remove the ugly themes but nyz wasn't as ugly as the rest ;)
The minimal style had also it's use.

My scroll doesn't work on my ps2 mouse. And I find the cursor to slow moving. I can't find a thing in the system menu to change it. Maybe it's possible to add? It's only that I seem to remember there was a mouse config app before, I might be mistaken.

I liked the MyDSL from DSL 0.9 better.

Personally I like wmbutton, a slitapp, to start applications. It has 9 small buttons with an icon on. And if you left click, right click or middle click you can start a different application with it. With 1 click. It's very small and easy.
Nah nevermind. Wouldn't it be possible to start the desktop links with 1 click instead of 2 ?

I'd like fluxbox 9.12. The tabs in the titlebar are really neat.
I guess it'll come with time

Hmmm, the background looks fine to me... what's with the purple comments?
(Purple - Influencing people in high places, Third Eye, Psychic Ability, Spiritual Power, Self Assurance, Hidden Knowledge - I like the first, and last two...)

Nice mix of styles - pick the one you like or go into an older DSL and put it into your backup. Man, you know it is a good release if everyone is complaining about styles... and not about the spyware (oops... that's windows)

I like how the DSL panel no longer uses the SuSE icon.

Oh, and there is a spelling mistake in the opening html. Especailly on the first line of "installing to hard drive."
