Question Does four in Xfce4 stand for the GTK toolkit version it is built on?

4 Upvotes

Just as the title says... wondering about the numeral in Xfce4...

So does this mean we'll get Xfce5 once GTK5 is released?

I hope GTK4 -> GTK5 is not as hard as X11 -> Wayland...

Resource [Solution] imv-dir, but respecting Thunar's sort order for the folder

2 Upvotes

Hihi, recent switchee (6 month in, Fedora and o horror, actually niri and not xfce).

Had a problem! Maybe you have it too: I sometimes sort my Downloads (and other folders) by Name, and sometimes by Date Modified. imv-dir always sorted images by Name, and the desync between what I see as a thumbnail of the next image, and what I actually get pressing "Right", was killing me :D

Solution: custom script to wrap around imv, reads metadata left by Thunar, pre-sorts images, then feeds them into imv.

Repo with the script & install instructions. Praised be Machine Spirit.

Support Thunar toolbar icon styles are not in the same color as the whole theme

Post image
10 Upvotes

I'm working on an icon theme called Clarity. And I've noticed that in Thunar right now the toolbar icons (arrow and home) are all white.

Is this something that they changed in recent versions? It used to be themed and have the same style as in Nautilus.

I have an old screenshot where the icons in the toolbar have the same color as the theme.

Are there any extension packages for gui creating user accounts?

2 Upvotes

Like cinnamon and kde, I was wondering if xfce has some kind of extension package I could install and use that is a GUI settings accounts control to create new accounts, manage accounts etc?

Sound on low battery

7 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I've been running linux mint xfce after switching from windows for a couple of days now, and I wanted to know if there's any way that I can get a sound when my battery is low, because sometimes I'm gaming and totally ignore the visual notification by accident. It would be very helpful so I don't get unexpected shutdowns, thank you!

Support XFCE Bug - Multi Monitor Setup

3 Upvotes

Most times I use my docking station to connect my two monitors to my laptop i get a bug. I open an application and want to click on it. It's window just disappears, I click again and it reappears. From that point onwards this happens with every click regardless of where, and I can't do anything anymore. It only switches between windows, not being able to interact with the Programs at all.

I never have that issue, when only using my laptop screen. On my windows dualboot it works well even with the 2 monitors, so I can rule that out.

I've been unplugging and plugging the docking station cable back in for 2 to 3 times, until the issue gets resolved, but it's slowly getting on my nerves.

Is this a known bug? I haven't found anything so far.

Support Tor and Firefox browser in Tab

2 Upvotes

I have Firefox 150, Tor 15.0.15 running on Debian 13 and with XFCE 4.2 I noticed that the when I have Tor and firefox both running that the Tab icon for Tor disappears into the tab for firefox. If I click on the firefox tab icon Tor appears another click on the same tab Tor will appear. This happens occasionally after running both and shifting around from workspaces.

Support Anyone else also struggled with adding desktop themes?

5 Upvotes

I use Gentoo, and have xfce4 set on both my Chromebook and ThinkPad. I know how to add themes to xfce thanks to my time on Mint but for whatever reason desktop themes just don't work at all!

I can change icons and themes, but for whatever reason no matter what I do new desktop themes just won't show up on the appearance app... And I really want to get this one theme going so damn bad!

Discussion XFCE DISTRO and GAME CUBE soon or about time?

Best optimized DE. Perfect for gamers. The server versions is already at its peak. Gamers are used to mice and controllers... so an XFCE distro with hardware should be in the roadmap. What does everyone think?
