Linux Mint 11 LXDE Application screens were visually improved, not only in the way they look but also in their layout and the information they show. For instance, the Software Manager now runs a simulation prior to showing you the application, so when you look at it, it can tell you precisely which packages would be added or removed to your system, how much data would be downloaded and how much space would be taken on the hard drive, may you decide to press the Install button.

Linux Mint 11 LXDE Application icons are now gathered not only from the mintinstall-icons package but also from your icon theme and generated at runtime if need be. This helps the Software Manager in showing more icons than before, whether mintinstall-icons is installed or not.

By default, the Software Manager now searches in the package names but also in their summary. This makes searches longer but more accurate than before. You can change this by clicking “Edit->Preferences->Search in packages summary”.
