Those are perfectly good decorations there. Is the curvature (of the corners) configurable?

I don't think so, at least out of the box, it's an add on module for wayfire. Though it's just one small c++ file so probably changeable.
It's not a perfect rounding as they don't do the border, it's clipped, but I keep my border small (personal pref) and it's hard to see even in front of the monitor.

continued in another thread dealing with wayland/wayfire.

After updating to the unstable versions I noticed that lxpanel no longer resizes the buttons of the active windows. That leads to the right part of the panel being moved off the screen when there are too many of them.
Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone have a solution for it?

Yes, of course it tells me I have too many things going on. There are settings you can make in the panel applet "Task Bar (Windows List)" settings to minimize the problem.
1. Set the maximum width to a smaller number (i.e. change 100 wide to 50 wide).
2. Check mark "Combine multiple application windows into a single button" (so if you have more than one text editor running, it will show up as a single window button.

Thanks, that helped.

Usually one can control the volume by scrolling the mouse wheel while the pointer is over the speaker icon. This no longer works. You can bring up the slider and drag it around, somewhat imperfectly. Bringing up the mixer (alsamixer) works, of course.

This system is alsa only (no pulseaudio). The alsa use flag is being used.

Seems related to this (which has a working patch):

I've been using media-sound/volumeicon to provide an LXPanel sound plugin. It's stable and works well.
