#+SETUPFILE: ../../org-templates/distro-guides.org
#+TITLE: Xfce Guide
* Xfce DE
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: xfce-de
:END:
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.+ For even better icons install buuf!
+ Install a better theme. Some good ones are:
+ [[https://github.com/originalseed/darkcold][DarkCold (the best theme)]]
+ [[https://drasite.com/flat-remix-gtk][flat-remix]]
+ [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1681313/][gruvbox]]
+ [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/2098041][DoorMaker]]
+ [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1394325][BaZik]]
+ Whisker menu for those who want a modern bloated 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 "super+v" to =xfce4-clipman-history= to make it feel more like the kde
clipboard
+ Open "Window Manager" and go to "keyboard" to make the wm binds better.
+ Make new windows show up at the center by going into the "Window
ManagerTweaks" "Placement" tab and turning the minimum size all the way up.
+ Go into "Window Manager" and set a cooler window style.
+ Go into "Window Manager Tweaks" and fuck around with the compositor
settings for cool clear things.
+ For follow focus go into "Window Manager" than "focus" where you can fuck
around. I personally like follow focus with zero delay :D
* Qt programs in xfce
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: qt
:END:
Qt programs tend to look out of place in a gtk based DE like xfce. This can be
fixed with kvantum and qt6ct. Here is the thing: qt5 works just fine with
kvantum alone while qt6 will have a black on black tooltip, and qt6 programs
without kvantum will use your gtk color scheme but not widget style. For things
to play nicely you need both qt6ct and kvantum.
To use them:
Add these to your =/etc/environment=:
#+begin_src shell
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct
#+end_src
Ignore the misconfiguration errors in qt6ct.
Set whatever theme you want from kvantum than set the theme to kvantum in
qt6ct. *qt6ct does not follow your system fonts.* If things look weird it might
be the fonts.
The qt theme I use is [[https://github.com/originalseed/kvdarkcold][kvdarkcold]].
* Rofi in xfce
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: rofi-in-xfce
:END:
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 "buuf" -show-icons= to super+d
+ Bind =rofi -show run= to super+r
+ Bind =rofi -show window -icon-theme "buuf" -show-icons= to super+w
There is much more I could use rofi for but this is all I need.
