I installed 12.1 Lite on hardware and a VM.

Happy to say that the weather in the panel is working on both installs.
My hardware install uses WiFi which I enabled during installation and was able to click on it after rebooting without needing to recreate the connection.

Good job Zorin Team.

When choosing 'Lite' from the download page a list of available distro's, Ultimate, Lite, Business and Education appear when I clicked on Education I got a choice of 'old' or 'modern' as well as 32 or 64 bit. I chose modern and 64 bit thinking I was getting Zorin 12 Lite Education but I got the main Education distro. The business section is laid out more clearly.

As I had gone from the main download page to the Lite page and the difference between old and modern wasn't explained. I thought it was a PAE thing or such. I feel this is confusing and misleading.

(Edit) Just looked again at this download page a day after downloading the wrong .iso and it does stipulate 'Lite' for older computers so not sure if I missed this the other day because I was so focused on the "modern" or "older" part or if it has been changed. My apologies if I missed it and thank you if you changed it!

On both a VM and hardware install, when changing the layout in Zorin Appearance any 'items' added to the panel are lost and have to be added again and reconfigured in the case of the weather app. I have 'custom' syntax for my clock display and this was not affected though.

When changing icons the ones set as 'panel favorites' next to the Z menu, do not update until login out and back in or restarting, network & volume near the clock change when the new icons are selected.
