The LXQt team announces the release of lxqt-panel 2.5.0. The release can be downloaded from Github.

Main changes:

• Fixed Network Monitor Plugin not respecting lxqt-panel’s icon size.
• Added new option to Network Monitor Plugin’s config to ‘Prefer system icons’.
• Change tooltip in Status Notifier if an app sets title instead of tooltip (some GTK apps can’t set the tooltip but may change the title).
• Fixed volume wheel scroll dropping steps with fast mice, and added touchpad support to Volume Control plugin.
• Improved widget removal and height adjustment in Volume Control plugin.
• Do not close Task Manager’s group popup on showing its context menu.
• Added minimum width config option to Custom Command plugin.
• Save the icon path when selected via file picker in Custom Command plugin’s config dialog.
• Made the D-Bus task command work with auto-hiding panels.
• Removed Wayfire from the list of compositors that support an unfocusable panel (because its latest stable version would make popup windows unfocusable too).
• Made the Close button the default button for config dialogs of relevant plugins.
• Used QDialogButtonBox in plugin-qeyes.
• Set fallback icon for Favorites in Fancy Menu.
• Removed hard-coded font size from CPU monitor widget.
• Removed old codes of Qt < 6.8.
• Used setAutoRaise for transparency with system theme in plugin-backlight.
• Show the current brightness in the tooltip of backlight plugin.
• Renamed QVector to QList.
• Fixed desktop file lookups in the Wayfire backend.
