Some features can be obtained when used. LXImage-Qt is maintained 
by the LXQt project but can be used independently in this desktop 
environment.
lxmenu data
The LXMenu Data Package provides the files needed to create desktop 
menus that are compatible with LXDE Freedesktop .or g. This package is 
known for its build and performance using the LFS-11.0 platform.
lxqt-about
It is a chat window that provides information about LXQt and its operat-
ing system. The library is provided by all other major Linux components 
such as Arch Linux, Debian, and openSUSE. Just use the package manager 
to search for the lxqt-about character unit.
lxqt-admin
This repository provides two GUI tools to configure LXQt operating sys-
tem settings.

Usage
Like the same tools provided by lxqt-config, lxqt-admin tools can be 
launched from the Configuration Center and in the main menu – Favorites 
– LXQt settings. Real use should be self-explanatory. Using settings GUI 
verification agent for active polkit is introduced to get root password.
lxqt-archive
Simple and easy Qt file storage. The main I/O functions are transferred 
from Engrampa (Gnome File Roller fork). This is just the result (archive) 
of archiving programs such as tar and zip.
The supported file types are as follows:
1. 7-Zip Compressed File (.7z)
2. WinAce Compressed File (.ace)
3. Compressed ALZip File (.alz)
4. Archive with a small AIX (.ar) index
5. Compressed ARJ archive (.arj)
6. Cabinet File (.cab)
7. UNIX CPIO Archive (.cpio)
8. Debian Linux Package (.deb) [Read Mode Only]
9. ISO-9660 CD Disc Image (.iso) [Read Mode Only]
10. Java archive (.jar)
11. Java Enterprise (.ear) Archive
12. Java (Archive) web archive
13. LHA archive (.lzh, .lha)
14. Depressed WinRAR archive (.rar)
15. RAR Archived Comic Book (.cbr)
16. RPM Linux Package (.rpm) [Read Mode Only]
17. Saved tape file: * uncompressed (.tar) or compressed with: * gzip ( .tar 
.gz, .tgz) * bzip ( .tar .bz, .tbz) * bzip2 (.tar.bz2, .tbz2) * press ( .tar.Z,

lxqt-common
This collection includes a number of support files used by various LXQt 
components. Among these are image files, themes, desktop installation 
files according to the XDG Desktop Menu Definition, template configura-
tion files in various components such as PCManFM-Qt or Openbox win-
dow manager, and script startlxqt used to start LXQt times. The LXQt 
logo was designed by @ Caig and licensed CC-BY-SA 3.0. The LXQt theme 
“Plasma” is based on the Next KDE Plasma theme by the KDE Visual team.
The Openbox window manager automatically stores user settings in 
the $ XDG_CONFIG_HOME / openbox / rc .x ml file, usually / home / 
 /.config/openbox/rc .xm l. When Openbox is used as the LXQt 
window manager, the $ XDG_CONFIG_HOME / openbox / lxqt -rc . xml 
file is used instead. This allows you to keep LXQt-specific settings simul-
taneously using different settings when Openbox is e. g. is used in “only” 
sessions of a private window manager outside of any desktop area. LXDE 
uses the same way the custom configuration file $ XDG_CONFIG_HOME 
/ openbox / lxde -rc .x ml.
In order to maintain a consistent return, those configuration files are 
handled by LXQt as follows:
1. Lxqt-common sends template file $ XDG_CONFIG_DIRS / open-
box / lxqt -rc .x ml, usually /etc/xdg/openbox/lxqt -rc .x ml.
2. At the beginning of each LXQt session, startlxqt checks that any 
rc .xm l, lxde -rc .x ml, or lxqt -rc . xml files are available at $ XDG_
CONFIG_HOME / openbox /.

3. Either way this will result in the file $ XDG_CONFIG_HOME / 
openbox / lxqt -rc . xml available for use from then on during LXQt 
periods.
lxqt-config
This repository provides several tools for configuring both the LXQt and 
the underlying operating system. On the other hand, it has several GUI 
tools to customize topics such as standard appearance, interface devices, 
or screen resolutions. On the other hand, the GUI “Configuration Center” 
summarizes all those configuration tools and counterparts of other LXQt 
components or third-party applications.
GUI CONFIGURATION TOOLS
LXQt Appearance Configuration
LXQt look includes titles such as the LXQt icon and theme or fonts. Binary 
lxqt-config-look.
Brightness
Brightness settings for output devices. Technically, the colors are adjusted 
to mimic different brightness if the LXQt operating system does not allow 
you to adjust the light itself.
File Associations
Provides MIME types for applications used to handle them. Binary 
lxqt-config-file-associations.
Keyboard and Mouse
Configuring the hardware of the devices. Settings such as repeat delays 
and keyboard intervals or device speed acceleration.
Locale
Locale used within the LXQt session. This GUI sets the natural variables 
known as LANG or LC_ *. Settings apply to the entire session, i.e., to pro-
grams running within LXQt sessions but not to LXQt sessions, too. Binary 
lxqt-config-locale.
Monitor Settings
Adjusts screen resolutions, screen layouts, and other preferences.

lxqt-globalkeys
This room provides tools for setting up global keyboard shortcuts for 
LXQt sessions, which run for the entire LXQt session and are not limited 
to separate applications. The main components are two lxqt-globalkeysd 
binary and lxqt-config-globalkeyshortcuts. Lxqt-globalkeysd works 
similarly to a daemon called the LXQt Module and does real work. The 
GUI lxqt-config-globalkeyshortcuts is used to customize the shortcut 
settings.
