1. 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.

2. 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. -
