Yes, I will rename the tarball when I get a tarball of a more fixed and
current version of ToriOS

Ok, I will look into this and change one or the other...  I suppose
changing the window border to match the Panel will be fine.

The desktop file for mkusb comes from your ppa so when that is updated
and I build the iso (or update the current one) it will be updated to
whatever version you have that is current.
The same goes to the Numix theme, as well as my program.  I also have
JWM in a PPA, but I am not entirely sure that will need to be updated soon.

The installed system will also have those things as well, so this is how
we can ensure an up-to-date supported LTS system.

Awesome!  I will check that out Jack!  Thanks both of you for testing
this so thoroughly!

LOCALE update:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
Languages are installed via language-pack-*

So to change something you can run something like

update-locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=POSIX

So, I have begun working on a little script to do this, I haven't gotten
very far yet...
but I am going to use
VAR=$(locale -a)
CHOICE=$(zenity --list --title="Locale" --column="Choose" ${VAR})
and the use some thing like:
update-locale LANG=$VAR LC_CTYPE="$VAR" LC_NUMERIC="$VAR" LC_TIME="$VAR"
LC_COLLATE="$VAR" LC_MONETARY="$VAR" LC_MESSAGES="$VAR" LC_PAPER="$VAR"
LC_NAME="$VAR" LC_ADDRESS="$VAR" LC_TELEPHONE="$VAR"
LC_MEASUREMENT="$VAR" LC_IDENTIFICATION="$VAR"

I'll need to also figure out how to list other locales that aren't
installed, and allow them to be installed...
Unless someone knows of any programs that do this?
It seems like someone else would have already done this.
