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. -
