CUTEFISH

ArcoLinux Desktop trasher (ADT) and CUTEFISH

ArcoLinuX Desktop Trasher has now the functionality to leave the .config alone.

Cutefish can be uninstalled.

Switch the config of SDDM

Fix-sddm-config is the most important alias to remember in August/September 2021.

If your ArcoLinux Tweak Tools fails to launch
fix-sddm-config
is what you type in a terminal

We have switched from configuring SDDM with one file to two.

From

/etc/sddm.conf

to

/etc/sddm.conf

/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf

The content is the same, while the the settings are located in two files.

ATT ZSH tab has been improved

We can now see the theme we have selected and the theme that we will select.

There is also an easy way to change your shell to Zsh or Bash.

If you want to reset your zshrc you can do so by the click of a button.

ATT Fixes is a new tab

We have added buttons to easily run our most important ArcoLinux scripts.

ATT Mirrors is a new tab

Due to increased popularity we have used more than 20TB of bandwidth in one month. As a result we have upgraded the service at Seedhost.

In order to conserve bandwidth we have added an option to the ATT.

If we do not enable the seedhost server we will use the free Belnet server and we can save some bandwidth.

ATT USER is a new tab

Not every desktop has a way to add a user to the system. It can be done via the terminal.

Now we can do it via the ArcoLinux Tweak Tool.

ATT SDDM is a new tab

We have abandoned the app sddm-config-editor-git app. One of the fields was not correct. We posted an issue on the github months ago. No new release yet.

We created our own way to change the desktop session to autologin and more.

ATT Terminals tab has been improved

Only the ArcoLinuxL has the possibility to change between themes. All themes are installed by default.

The other ISOS are meant to be minimal.

They can install more themes with the click of a button.

ATT Desktop tab has been improved

You can install Cutefish with the ATT.

We re-arranged the backup folders to one specific folder.

We added a direct link to the ArcoLinux Desktop Trasher.

We have added log files so you can follow what happens to your computer system.

ATT Privacy tab has been improved

What used to be only Hblock is now Privacy.

Plenty of space to add more elements later.

For now we have added uBlock origin – a well known extension for browsers.

Click and it installs. Click again and it uninstalls.

ATT switcher tab has been improved

We have completely rewritten this one – my thanks to ArcoLinux Surfie for all his efforts.

We can now also see the themes we select in a nice preview.

Betterlockscreen – arcolinux-betterlockscreen updated to last version

When betterlockscreen or i3-lock change their switches then we must update our ArcoLinux Betterlockscreen and ArcoLinux Logout because they rely on these packages.

The sweet icons are now part of the official package arcolinux-logout-git.

The other themes are in arcolinux-logout-themes-git.
