+Indeed the best DE out there.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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!
+</p>
+
+<ul class="org-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:
+<ul class="org-ul">
+<li><a href="https://drasite.com/flat-remix-gtk">flat-remix</a></li>
+<li><a href="https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1681313/">gruvbox</a></li>
+<li><a href="https://www.xfce-look.org/p/2098041">DoorMaker</a></li>
+<li><a href="https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1394325">BaZik</a></li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>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 class="org-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 class="org-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.</li>
+</ul>

+<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-rofi-in-xfce">
+<p>
+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:
+</p>
+
+<ul class="org-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>
+
+<p>
+There is much more I could use rofi for but this is all I need.
