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. +
