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!
</p>
<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>
<li><a href="https://drasite.com/flat-remix-gtk"
target="_blank">flat-remix</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1681313/"
target="_blank">gruvbox</a></lib>
<li><a href="https://www.xfce-look.org/p/2098041"
target="_blank">DoorMaker</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1394325"
target="_blank">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>
<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>
<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>

<h2>Rofi in xfce</h2> 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:
<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>
There is much more I could use rofi for but this is all I
need.
