But why did they look good in Beta 1 and now in Beta 2, do they look blank? It's the same theme I'm using.

I don't know, but we literally did 0 with the themes.

what's the theme you are using?

The next informative windows says it will open without admin rights and therefore, it becomes useless, however, it is opened correctly by the MX Installer. It was a little slow to display the installed drives (5 in my just obtained test machine) due to calling up smartctl on each one as they are opened, which I think is a nice touch. This is repeatable irrespective of what machine it is run on, however, using the F4 terminal drop down, sudo partitionmanager opens it just fine.

Also confirming the Update Notifier opening itself after an update is finished, however, only tried it running live on a 9YO machine with plenty of RAM where it appeared sluggish.

QSI from the Live session of my own monthly snapshot of regular MX-ahs, so ignore the trimmings and differences, it's just 5 times faster than this KDE beta. I see no reason to include repos and extra so I removed the options from the inxi switches

• Disable the 30-second pause before logging out, shutting down or restarting so you don't have to go hunting through the Plasma settings to find it.(Even better would be to be able to change the timer value if that setting's in a config file somewhere, but via the Plasma GUI it's either the default 30 second delay or none.)
• Toggle between single- and double-click to open apps on the desktop and in Dolphin (it's a global setting for both, unlike Thunar where its behavior and the desktop's behavior can be set separately.)
