- By default xfce is a very plain desktop and looks kind

- and feel great with some work!

- <ul>
- <li>Install nicer icons like papirus, can never go
- wrong with papirus icons. then set them as your icon
- theme</li>
- <li>
- Install a better theme. Some good ones are:

- Install kvantum and kvantum-qt5 to change qt
- themes. Add this to <code>/etc/environment</code>
- for kvantum to work:<br/>
- <code>
- QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum
- </code>
- </li>
- <li>
- Whisker menu for those who want a more modern menu:
- <ul>
- <li>Install whisker menu for a way better
- menu</li>
- <li>Go into the panel settings to remove the
- old one and change it to whisker menu.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- Enable clipman as one of the startup apps for a kde
- like clipboard.
- </li>
- <li>
- Make some nicer keybinds:
- <ul>
- <li>
- Bind <code>xfce4-popup-whiskermenu</code>
- to something like alt+f1 than use xcape to
- bind it to super to get around the xfce
- super key bug. Add <code>xcape -e
- 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1'</code> as a startup
- application or whatever dummy keybind you
- binded to whiskermenu. Sadly xfce cant bind
- anything to super key without breaking
- other shortcuts that use super so we have
- to use xcape in a painful hacky way.
- </li>
- <li>Bind "super+v"
- to <code>xfce4-clipman-history</code> to make
- it feel more like the kde clipboard</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- Make new windows show up at the mouse by going into
- the "Window ManagerTweaks" "Placement" tab, turning
- the minimum size all the way up and chaning the
- place windows position to under the mouse pointer.
- </li>
- <li>
- Go into "Window Manager" and set a cooler window
- style and more sane shortcuts for virtual desktops.
- </li>
- <li>
- Go into "Window Manager Tweaks" and fuck around
- with the compositor settings for cool clear things.

- <h2>Rofi in xfce</h2> The default xfce appfinder been
- causing me issues lately so I decided to switch to rofi.
- <br/><br/> To make rofi work with my workflow I like to add
- some binds for it:
- <ul>
- <li>Bind <code>rofi -show drun -icon-theme
- "Papirus-Dark" -show-icons</code> to super+d</li>
- <li>Bind <code>rofi -show run</code> to super+r</li>
- <li>Bind <code>rofi -show window -icon-theme
- "Papirus-Dark" -show-icons</code> to super+w</li>
- </ul>
- There is much more I could use rofi for but this is all I
- need.
