Xfce DE

-

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: - -
    • -
  • 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

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. -
