Effective immediately we have stopped using Transifex.net for translating LXDE components.

Will LXDE continue to use transifex.net?
UPDATE:
We’ve dropped transifex by now.
Maybe.
The recent weeks have been interesting in the world of online translation management as Transifex got promoted to 1.0. As we are one of the project using the hosted service at transifex.net since almost a year now it was with both joy and disappointment we read the changelog. While bringing many [...]
LXDE Buildbot!

A Status Matrix for LXDE Components
I just created a status matrix of LXDE components on our LXDE wiki. This matrix shows you the current status of every LXDE component. The content of this wiki is far from complete, but it’s just a start.

So, please take a look if you’re interested and help complete the page if possible.
Cheers!
New Mailing List lxde-i18n for translators
In the past we used <translation@mailinglist.lxde.org> to coordinate translation work for LXDE. This mailing list server, however, suffers from unexpected downtime sometimes recently and has some maintaince issues. To eliminate the maintaince load and provide more stable service, we’re moving to a new mailing list hosted on sourceforge.net after some discussions. Since all other LXDE-related [...]
LXAppearance – OpenBox Integration is Finished!
Since LXAppearance now supports plugins, it’s possible to add new features to it with third party plugins. Today I ported the GUI configuration tool for OpenBox obconf to LXAppearance. Now a plugin for seamless OpenBox integration is available.
A picture is worth a thousand words:
No additional dependencies are added to LXAppearance. You get this “Window Border” [...]
LXAppearance becomes the most feature-rich Gnome-free gtk+ theme changer.
As stated in previous posts, LXAppearance is currently being rewritten. Today, the rewrite is finished.
Now LXAppearance becomes the most feature-rich Gnome-free gtk+ theme changer.
Let’s see a screenshot:
If the gtk+ theme you use supports color schemes, such as Clearlooks, you can customize these colors in LXAppearance, just like what you can do in gnome-appearance-properties.
Later, LXAppearance2 will [...]
LXAppearance gets a rewrite, too!
While the rewrite of PCManFM/libfm is still in progress, another parts of LXDE requires more attention. So this week I did a rewrite/redesign for LXAppearance. The most notable change is the new cursor theme support. Let’s see some screenshots:
The main screen demostrating current GTK+ theme didn’t change much.
The icon theme choosing page now becomes cleaner.
Guess what? The [...]
