In early 2013, Hong Jen Yee "PCMan" started porting LXDE components to Qt. The first preview of LXDE-Qt was released on July 3rd, 2013. On July 21st, it was announced that Razor-qt (a desktop similar in design to LXDE) and LXDE were merging.

The result is LXQt, a desktop built on Qt which partly uses Razor-qt and LXDE components. While development is mainly focused on LXQt, the GTK+ 2 version of LXDE will see continued development. The final release of Razor-qt is 0.6.0.

## Installation

Install the lxqt group.

You also need an icon theme to be installed. The default one is Oxygen, which can be installed with the oxygen-icons package.

For additional functionality, you may wish to install the following:

- LXImage-Qt — Image viewer and screenshot tool for LXQt.

  https://github.com/lxde/lximage-qt || lximage-qtAUR

- ObConf-Qt — The Qt port of ObConf, the Openbox configuration tool.

  https://github.com/lxde/obconf-qt || obconf-qt-gitAUR

- QTerminal — Lightweight Qt-based terminal emulator.

  https://github.com/qterminal/qterminal || qterminalAUR

- SDDM — The recommended display manager for LXQt.

  https://github.com/sddm/sddm || sddm

## Starting the desktop

### Graphical login

Choose LXQt Desktop from the menu in a display manager of choice.

### Using xinit

Append the following line to Xinitrc:

    exec startlxqt

## Configuration

LXQt in general tries to provide GUI applications to change its settings. Configuration files are in `~/.config/lxqt`. This directory is initialized automatically. The default configuration for new users is found in `/etc/xdg/lxqt`.

### Replace the default window manager

While Openbox is the default window manager for LXQt, you can specify a different window manager to use with LXQt via the Session Settings, or by editing `~/.config/lxqt/session.conf`. Change the following line:

    window_manager=openbox

to a window manager of choice:

    window_manager=your_window_manager

## Suggested applications

As LXQt is a lightweight desktop, a plain install will not provide many desktop applications. It is left to the user to choose what applications they wish to install. The Razor-qt wiki has a page which lists of number of useful Qt applications that you may wish to install. Also see the List of applications page for a comprehensive list of applications available in Arch.

## Troubleshooting

### LXQt Panel appears broken on first login

Note: Fixed in lxqt-common version 0.9.1-2.

After logging in to LXQt for the very first time, the panel will appear to have no start button, no clock, and will look odd. To fix this, you must go into the LXQt Appearance configuration and set an initial LXQt theme.

Click on the bottom left of the panel (where the start button should be), and the menu will come up. Select Preferences->LXQt settings->Appearance Then click on the LXQt Theme icon. Select an initial theme.

The panel will now look normal, and you should be able to customize from there.
