 xfce 3.8.8 (xfce3)
Section: Unix

 

Added: Sun, May 10th 1998 14:19 UTC (10 years, 5 months ago) Updated: Wed, Apr 11th 2007 03:20 UTC (1 year, 6 months ago)


Screenshot About:
Xfce is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure environment for X11 based on GTK2. A priority is adherence to standards, specifically those defined at freedesktop.org.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
This new release fixes some focus problem (the routines in charge of focus in xfwm have been deeply modified), and includes an entirely rewritten sound module (xfsound) that can now take advantage of audiolib and aRts (optionnaly, support for aRts must be specified at ./configure time). Other changes include some minor visual tweaks (in xfwm and xfce_theme gtk engine), improved scripts (such as auto eject of media in xfmountdev), and a bunch of new palettes.

[»] 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

    Agreed.

    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/ ).

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:
    PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
    155 tgz 9 0 904 904 756 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 startxfce

    164 tgz 9 0 4092 4092 2896 S 0.0 1.0 0:00 xfce

    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.

YaST installed the Redhat rpm on my SuSE 6.1 system
flawlessly, everything works fine. It really is easy
to setup and use.
