+** Xfce DE
+   :PROPERTIES:
+   :CUSTOM_ID: xfce-de
+   :END:
+Indeed the best DE out there.
+
+By default xfce is a very plain desktop and looks kind of old and shitty
+(like this website), but it can look and feel great with some work!
+
+- Install nicer icons like papirus, can never go wrong with papirus
+  icons. then set them as your icon theme
+- Install a better theme. Some good ones are:
+  - [[https://drasite.com/flat-remix-gtk][flat-remix]]
+  - [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1681313/][gruvbox]]
+  - [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/2098041][DoorMaker]]
+  - [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1394325][BaZik]]
+- Install kvantum and kvantum-qt5 to change qt themes. Add this to
+  =/etc/environment= for kvantum to work:\\
+  =QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum=
+- Whisker menu for those who want a more modern menu:
+  - Install whisker menu for a way better menu
+  - Go into the panel settings to remove the old one and change it to
+    whisker menu.
+- Enable clipman as one of the startup apps for a kde like clipboard.
+- Make some nicer keybinds:
+  - Bind =xfce4-popup-whiskermenu= to something like alt+f1 than use
+    xcape to bind it to super to get around the xfce super key bug. Add
+    =xcape -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1'= 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.
+  - Bind "super+v" to =xfce4-clipman-history= to make it feel more like
+    the kde clipboard
+- 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.
+- Go into "Window Manager" and set a cooler window style and more sane
+  shortcuts for virtual desktops.
+- Go into "Window Manager Tweaks" and fuck around with the compositor
+  settings for cool clear things.
+
+** Rofi in xfce
+   :PROPERTIES:
+   :CUSTOM_ID: rofi-in-xfce
+   :END:
+The default xfce appfinder been causing me issues lately so I decided to
+switch to rofi.\\
+\\
+To make rofi work with my workflow I like to add some binds for it:
+
+- Bind =rofi -show drun -icon-theme "Papirus-Dark" -show-icons= to
+  super+d
+- Bind =rofi -show run= to super+r
+- Bind =rofi -show window -icon-theme "Papirus-Dark" -show-icons= to
+  super+w
+
+There is much more I could use rofi for but this is all I need.
