Yay!
by katia - Dec 8th 2003 18:13:06
The only thing preventing me from rating XFCE a 10 is the file manager. It
has some quirks. Still, this is an extremely impressive project.
Excepting the file manager everything about this project is perfect!
If the fm "go to" would act more like bash that would be a
start. It only seems to remember directories it has been to. Also,
sometimes when you look at a directory with images it makes a huge space
between the thumbnail and the name requiring you to scroll left and right
to see everything. Moving or copying multiple files doesn't seem
possible.
Also, more keyboard shortcuts would be nice and a way to configure them
(gimp style would be amazing). In fact if it were done as a library it
would be possible for many programs to have such a handy feature.
The fm isn't that big of an issue for me as I just use the terminal. But
if it were improved in such ways I might be inticed into using it.

xfce4, a complete redesign
by nam1000 - Nov 26th 2003 05:51:44
If you have tested Xfce before and didn't like it, it's time to give it
another try.
Version 4 is a complete redesign. It's as fast and stable (none of its
components has ever crashed on me or posed even a minor problem) as the
previous versions but this time, it looks gorgeous (gtk2 + better artwork).
It stays out of the way and in the same time is very easily configurable.
Everything, from icons to menus to workspace names, can be quickly modified
by a couple of mouse clicks. You'll also discover great features along the
way, such as a clever use of the scroll wheel to shade/unshade, change
workspace, modify the volume.
Xfce4 is a lesson in smart design and a dream come true: a stable, well
supported, featureful, nice-looking, radically unbloated desktop
environment. Long live the Xfce team!

The best desktop environment I've seen so far!
by Matthias Arndt - Apr 29th 2002 04:10:12
Nothing more to say!
Only the RISC OS desktop on Acorn machines
can beat this.
Definitely this desktop has everything you.
It is lightning fast, small, easy to use and easy to configure. And: it
even does really look good!
The file manager could be better though.

the very best Desktop i've found
by A.Barros - Sep 20th 2001 09:33:50
lightning fast, not hungry for sys resources, and also an eye candy ( BTW,
the old filemanager was replaced by ROX Filer ) !
That's the only Desktop i run either at office or home, for over a year
now.
And since kernel guru A.Cox endorses it, who am i to disagree... =oP

Hi,

Agreed.

> Filer ) !
That's why I'm writing... just downloaded 3.8.12 and it seems the old
filemanager is still there.
Perhaps you got some "developer" version from CVS or something like that?

I wonder what will happen if he gets elected for Gnome...
Tchau! ;)

that's possible, i run the CVS and/or/plus the modifications
suggested from the mailing list... ( the ROX filer subject emerged there,
Olivier was talking to the ROX guy about this replacement, but i guess the
talks didn't progress =o/ ).

Brilliant
by Ed Osborne - Aug 30th 2001 09:45:14
Anyone in two minds downloading & installing XFce should definately try
it.
Alot less heavy than other Window managers

XFCE is quite good.
by SalsaDoom - Jul 24th 2001 15:19:23
Its probably the only "Desktop" that doesn't kill system
resources (like GNOME and KDE do, they really do simulate a windows
experience). I'm not fond of its filemanager, but the rest is great.
I'd use it, but ... I'm addicted to dockapps.

You can say that again:

That's 6 megs of RAM, folks. And it's got window-snapping and runs using
GTK. Think about that for about 4 seconds, and download this now.

Xfce
by joe - Jul 15th 1999 04:54:30
YaST installed the Redhat rpm on my SuSE 6.1 system
flawlessly, everything works fine. It really is easy
to setup and use.
