The extras here from stock antiX appear to be :-
Plenty of wallpapers and desktop themes (over forty of each).
JGMenu styles with nine menu layouts labelled according to distro style (icon and descriptor).
Papyrus-Folders giving a bit of extra colour choice.
LXpanel
A few extra software packages such as ImageMagick, Librewolf, Gparted.
The panel reduces the need to search the menus, although the KDE menu style, if chosen does duplicate the options with its own quick access menu panel. So too does the Openbox desktop menu with useful speedy access to desktop choices (IceWM, Fluxbox, Openbox, JWM), Themes, and the Control Centre for 'Wallpaper wonderland', the latter two giving another eighty-ish choices between them.
Papyrus-Folders and JGMenu certainly simplify adding colour, contrast and overall useability to the desktop at the expense of of few more menu options and perhaps some time given to perusing the choices, as opposed to the time installing them directly in antiX. The Conky Manager can setup a flowy 'Good Morning' desktop message as a reminder of excessive colour scheming and the approaching dawn!
The only issue I spotted was the that Update and Software Installer descriptors were swapped around, for now.
Nice 'inits', old school desktops while you can, decent performance, and from 'Super Lite', an extra splash of colour 'out of the box' together with a couple of useful extra packages. The simple additions work nicely. There are a couple of sibling distros with alternative desktops (LXDE, XFCE) from the same soup kitchen too ..if more choice is needed.
