Sorry for the late reply avj.
There could be a lot of them, not much place left on the system info page

Code:
ifconfig -a | sed 's/[ \t].*//;/^\(lo\|\)$/d'

eth0

eth1

eth2

ovs-system

ovsbr0

vmnet1

vmnet8

That's cool, I just didn't get why you guys didn't just show the hardware like in the devices section rather than have another section for internet. I understand sometimes you just have something different in mind than what would seem obvious to others. No big deal. Smile

Well thanks for suggesting. The more ideas the better.
It's going to be too hot today for any software development. Smile

I'm gonna watch volleyball World League final with France later.
By the way, it was an exciting game with USA team yesterday. Smile

As for Control Center grouping of the icons would be a good idea. Especially in the case when there is a lot of them. It would be easier to spot the one you need. It could slow down application start for a few % but the gain may be worth the trip.

Hello!

You people have done a super job on the Control Center!

38 C (100 F) plus high humidity. I know how that feels, man - we've had such conditions in the Southeastern US recently, also. However, that is the normal weather for time of year.

I hope you have A/C there, and that it's working as it should! I also hope the teams you're pulling for are victorious...

Couple suggestions

1. The Help icon at top right corners for Desktop, Software, Hardware, and System. How about making it so when you highlight the Help Icon with your cursor, it says Help underneath it. So people know what it is without having to click on it.

It does it for the Help icon in the System Information, I suggest it does it for the other tabs also.

and

2. How about giving us the option to minimize the Guide section in the Software tab, for people who don't need it.

I like that suggestion, I'll add it Smile

Update: 1.0-0120

Instead of listing all the changes between builds, I'm just going to add the commits link to each announcement so you can read about all of the changes that are happening in development as they occur. Most notable change in this build is the renaming of the 'System Information' tab to 'My Computer'.

Thanks Rob we are giving our best on Control Center.

Thanks for your concern, nothing wrong with electricity here.
We use 220-230V 50Hz for everything.
sockets are maybe different from the ones you have in US

As for Volleyball, I fell asleep and slept over the game and they lost. Haha, I missed the chance to send them positive energy Wink

Hello!

I think I've managed to get everyone way off-topic again, so I've made my response private. Nothing drives sysops crazy more than going off-topic does...

We're looking to use a contrasting background to help seperate the different sections of the Lite Control Center.
Which one do you like from the samples below?
