Continuing to get all the goodies from Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus), LXLE 16.04.2 Release Candidate is here only two weeks after the last Beta milestone, and adds quite a bunch of improvements and bug fixes. These include a reconfigured menu layout to be less cluttered for navigation, and a revamped Control Menu to act as a dynamic Control Panel. Moreover, the LXLE 16.04.2 Release Candidate improves consistency by adding various tweaks to the system theme, providing users with a more uniform look. Also, it looks like the Zenburn theme is now used for the custom terminal color schemes, and the GTK+ theme was updated to better integrate with more Qt apps.
