Whiteboard
Xubuntu Core (Base):
- URL: https:/
- URL: https:/
- URL: https:/
- Branches have been refreshed but could use another reviewer and testing. Since we're up to date on this, let's get this out the door first thing for bionic+1
AppStream:
- URL: https:/
- Mostly upstream icon related issues. Icons need to be provided by the package or in the humanity icon theme. They must also be a minimum of 64px.
- Many of the required changes are being picked up in each component. Considered complete from our perspective.
Pidgin theme:
- URL: https:/
- Pidgin will require patching to support installing this theme globally
GTK Theme Config
- No longer possible to work universally with all GTK+ 3 themes
- Removed from Debian and Bionic. It may return in a later release, but limited to a select few themes.
Fonts:
- URL: https:/
- All additional fonts installed on Xubuntu provide additional language support and should not be removed without a much larger discussion.
Thunar Custom Actions:
- URL: https:/
