The Xfce Design SIG aims at improving the usability and visual appearance of the Xfce desktop environment. Our goal is to bring interested users, designers and hackers together to ensure that none of them are working in a vacuum. By establishing a context in which they can collaborate on smaller and larger design-related projects, we try to increase the chance of the proposed changes to be merged into the official Xfce repositories.
Members of the Design SIG are not appointed or elected. Everyone can participate! Feel free to add your name, interests and skills to the following list if you are striving for regular contributions to our ongoing design efforts.
