LXQt 2.4.0 released
LXQt 2.4.0 skips the flashy new features in favor of tightening up everyday workflows and squashing long-standing bugs that actually matter. The panel finally gets a horizontal volume slider that responds to mouse wheel scrolling, while power management now tracks separate monitor blanking timeouts for plugged-in and battery modes instead of guessing what users want. File saving feels snappier with auto-highlighted filenames, and the terminal rounds out the update with improved search highlighting, URL fixes, and a fresh Nord theme. Wayland support gets cleaner session separation and smarter notification handling that actually respects Do Not Disturb settings without cluttering history for no reason.
