Confirmed Rosa R11 works with both the e port and backlit keyboard with the E6420.

Recent updates have been amazing as the speed and additional goodies really make this KDE distro.

Yeah. I wish they'd release new installation medium just so I could get my USB updated.

Which theme are you using? I went with breeze dark as I like the darker themes overall.

I'm actually using the ROSA Fresh desktop theme, w/ RedApparatus cursor themes in QT & GTK applications, and using Diamond as the window decorations.

I switched to breeze dark as recent updates have changed the panel color to a gray thats difficult for me to see clearly. It was blue originally which I prefered using the Rosa desktop fresh.

On this particular machine, it's only 1600x900, so the grey isn't difficult at all to see clearly. Might be an issue on something like my Chuwi (2736x1824) where everything is significantly smaller and blends together more, but with the low res on this LCD, it works well. I actually don't use breeze on ANYTHING, I really dislike the breeze theme. My favorites are Eleonora, Glassified, Maiai Transparent, Oxygen-Genesis, and Perfection.

Im running at 1280x1024 on my Dell external monitor and even the blue didnt allow the icons to stand out much.

Ill take a peek at the ones you mentioned.

Ive always preferred dark themes as they are easier to view due to the greater contrast and less glare on the eyes. I wish Rosa had a custom dark theme of their own.
