Razor-qt was a lightweight desktop environment for the X Window System based on Qt . It has now been replaced by the follow-up project LXQt .

properties

Razor-qt was still in the early stages of development. As of February 2012, it supports a panel with application and desktop switcher, a desktop, an application launcher, a settings center and sessions. The components can be activated and deactivated individually by the user.

Razor-qt works with every modern window manager , such as Openbox , fvwm2 or KWin . In a test by a reviewer, Razor-qt (version 0.4 was tested, published in December 2011) only required 114 MB of main memory and is therefore comparable to LXDE (108 MB).

Razor-qt includes a login dialog for LightDM which has been used as a display manager since Ubuntu 11.10.

The porting of the file manager PCManFM used at LXDE from Gtk + to Qt has also initiated a discussion on better cooperation and avoidance of redundant developments in LXDE and Razor-qt.

The developers of LXDE and Razor-qt decided to merge the Qt version of LXDE and Razor-qt. In May 2014 a first version of the new Qt-based LXDE desktop mapping, now called LXQt , was released.
