Drop all the crap that is in the bundle since they are unusable on 22″ screens.ħ) Fire the rat. Come on, it’s not that hard.Ħ) Write a better window border & titlebar, a good one like Adwaita and make it default. It’s what most screens need to look pretty. If you want to split specific categories do what number 3 suggests.ĥ) Please find and stick with a BETTER and NICE looking font, and enable hinting by default set on slight and rba. This is where good things should be copied.Ĥ) Remove those spacers in the menus which are just horrible. IT’S NOT THAT DIFFICULT!Ģ) Please remove the Machintosh dockbar, as you end up losing 5% of your space using your screen.ģ) Please, rearrange the MENU like the GNOME 2 was. If it’s too difficult, grab an astronomy book and you’ll come across some cool name. (Stuff like buggy keyboard support, forcing “Open” to start in the “Recently Used” section with buggy support for being emptied, lacking “show this bookmark only in this application”, and having neither “Delete” and “Rename” context menu entries nor an “Open in File Manager” one.)ġ) Rename XFCE. LXDE has its annoying flaws, but since they’re actually GNOME-inspired “features” in GTK+ common dialogs, Xfce wouldn’t fix them. I switched to LXDE when I finally couldn’t wait for KDE 4 to become fast and stable any longer (somewhere around KDE 4.4) and GTK+ had finally fixed the Save/Load dialog to perform well. Once I did find better theming options, I was a loyal KDE 3.5 user. *nod* I used to run Konqueror 3.5 under desktops like GNOME, Xfce, and a homemade Fluxbox-centered mixture back in the days before I found less gaudy KDE 3.5 theming resources. Personally, I prefer Xfce by a wide margin, but LXDE is a great desktop in its own right. If you don’t need the extra features Xfce has over LXDE, you’ll probably find the latter to be a better fit. I tend to use Thunar as my file manager when I build an E17 desktop, for example.īut you’re right, as fast and stable as Xfce is even on older hardware, LXDE is even faster. Some of my favorite desktop setups in the past have mixed components from different projects with little to no issues. You can always run PCManFM under Xfce, you’re not “stuck” with Thunar.
