Some time ago, we had talked de razor-qt, lightweight desktop environment developed in Qt, which promises to become an interesting alternative to KDE, especially for those who do not have very powerful machines.
These days, version 0.4 has been released, including some interesting news. |
|
| Razor-Qt, sporting the default theme |
New components
- razor-runner program: a tool for launching applications.
- razor-config * tools: configuration tools.
- razor-qt menu: your own menu following XDG standards.
Other changes
- Some bugs have been fixed and improvements have been added.
- Improvements in language translation.
- New a-mego theme with dark colors.
Panel
- Configuration dialogs are added.
- New plugin to unmount devices using udisks.
- New plugin to lock screen.
- New plugin to restore the desktop.
- Support for dragging and adding plugins.
Razor-qt works with various WMS (Windows Manager), although most Razor developers use Openbox. However, fwwm2 or KWin can be used without any problem.
There are detailed installation instructions for the following distros: Ubuntu, openSUSE, ArchLinux and Fedora.

Hello, the topic interests me, but for computers with 32 mb of ram, is there anything? Puppy does not work well, at least with the traditional installation. Anyone know, it's for a non-profit library project
questions:
1) can I use Razor to replace Gnome in Linux Mint?
2) can I install it together with Gnome?
3) for it to be fully functional, is it necessary to have any other additional package installed, either Openbox or another?
this project reminds me of this other XD

It's good for my granny's computer
Interesting! I did not know about this project ...
Thanks for sharing the information!
Cheers! Paul.
These distros can work well for what you need: http://arukard.wordpress.com/2008/11/25/eks-otus-ya-esta-disponible/ Hopefully the data will serve you ...
Cheers! Paul.
Haha… hey, it's not so bad…
What's more, it seems more functional than Unity! 🙂
Cheers! Paul.
Hi Pablo, a question regarding this environment. Do you know how I can make gtk applications look like qt in this environment? I know how to do it in kde but not here. I am using arch. Thank you.
No, but if you learn how to do it, share it. Hug! Paul.
You need to use Openbox or another window manager. For example, KWin. For a list of the window managers that it currently supports, read this article: https://github.com/Razor-qt/razor-qt/wiki/Window-Managers.
I also suggest you read the project wiki: https://github.com/Razor-qt/razor-qt/wiki
Cheers! Paul.
