LDE(X)6.05 - Ermintrude2.2/Bessy1.1r3
There have been some interface improvements in this release that are designed to improve the workflow significantly. As in the screenshot above, the taskbar can now be merged with the panel launcher and reside either above or below it in this mode. Significant work has also meant that this does not compromise any of the existing feature set within LDE(X) so autohide and autoraise of the combined panel is supported as well. This configuration has proved incredibly popular due to the reduced mouse travel involved.
The system tray has also been greatly improved with the adoption of a module called VTray. It supports scrolling so those users with a heavily filled system tray will no longer be encountering major problems - simply hit the gadget to scroll the icons. The taskbar has been improved internally, with much better layout code and the addition of a gadget to provide single click access to the related configuration options for this component. In the merged taskbar+launcher mode, this also brings in some panel launcher related options to improve access.
