Version 1.2.0 of the Lumina desktop environment.

The Lumina Desktop Environment is a lightweight system interface designed for use on any Unix-like operating system. Lumina is based on using plugins, which allows the entire interface to be arranged by each individual user as desired. A system wide default layout is also included, and is configurable by the system administrator. This allows every system (or user session) to be designed to maximize the individual user's productivity.

Patchset 1 Changes:

  • Added a new "NO_XINPUT" compile-time flag for operating systems which do not have the xcb/xinput.h class available within the XCB library. Note that this will also disable/hide the input device management page within lumina-config.

Usage Example: qmake CONFIG+=NO_XINPUT
