I used 1.0.1 for a few weeks and it looks quite impressive, but eventually I went back to FVWM with a tint2 toolbar. Lumina still has some weird bugs which need to be solved until I'll try again.
The weirdest bug I noticed: When connecting the laptop to a external projector, the terminal windows of xfce4-terminal, konsole and terminator disappeared. xterm still worked, though. This might also be a Fluxbox error. If I find the time I need to look into replacing Fluxbox with FVWM and give it another try.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

Rep:
Lumina Desktop 1.6.1 has been released.
Quote:
This is a minor but long awaited update that finally brings in the downstream theme work that we did for Project Trident. There are a few other minor bug fixes that have been sitting in the Master Branch that are included as well, since the prior v1.6.0 tagged release was so long ago.
Note to Packagers:
As of this version there is an additional dependency on the La Capitaine Icon Theme. The fallback old Google Material Design Icon Themes are still included for OSes and distros without a package for La Capitaine, however we are planning on eventually removing them at some pointin the future. For more information on that icon theme, see the updated Core [ReadMe] for a link to that icon themes' github repo.
Unable to get 1.6.0 to build on 14.2 with qt-5.9.6 and qt-webkit 5.7.1 (both from alienbob). I'm geting error codes:
Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong? I doubt this is a 1.6.0 to 1.6.1 bug issue.
Thanks.
I see a few errors due to features missing in your Qt version:
* qsizetype was introduced in Qt 5.10
* QImage::sizeInBytes() was introduced in Qt 5.10
The code could probably be adapted to work with previous Qt versions, but I guess you'll find a lot of other places where fixing is needed.
I'm a bit confused that the lumina team doesn't seem to explicitly declare a minimum Qt version, and they don't even check for it in their build system.

This is odd, because the github repository lumina-core dependencies specifically says that qt5.4 is required, not 5.10. It could be the github information needs updating. Maybe the qmake command isn't finding the right system? Message sent to slackbuild maintainer to discuss which qt5 version they used to build. Will also touch base with Ken Moore's replacement to see if github site dependencies are incorrect for core.
Other ideas are still welcome. Cheers, BrianA_MN
So has anyone attempted to compile Lumina 1.6.1 on --Current ? For me it stops and errors out here after a few minutes going into the process of compiling:

Pursuing knowledge of what is happening... Downloaded the lumina-1.6.1.tar.gz, exploded and followed the build from source directions of github. While "qmake" only finds Slackware 14.2 qt-4.8.7, but the slackbuild "qmake-qt5" finds 5.9.6 version. So if minumum version is qt5.4 the slackbuild is finding and using 5.9.6.
Additional update. Slackbuilds maintainer sent his build of 1.6.0 and it fails to start, giving only a blank screen. Downloaded AlienBob lumina-1.4.0.p1 and it runs without issues. Contacted Lumina-desktop new developer/maintainer and they agree that documentation needs updating and hope to have the requirements properly documented by release of 1.6.2 in the near future. So the qt version requirement changed someplace between 1.4.0.p1 and 1.6.0. Not sure the features upgrades are significant, but hopefully this helps someone else wishing to tryout lumina.

Oops, I used sboui to build Lumina-1.6.0 NOT 1.6.1. Soon Slackware 15 will be in the rear view mirror and SlackBuilds.org will have all the SlackBuilds working.
Sorry for the noise.
Tried for Lumina-1.6.1 It takes a long time to run so Laid down for a nap and found the process ground to a halt when I woke up.
