- | ====== Xfce Design SIG (Special Interest Group) ====== | + | ~~NOTOC~~ |
- | 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 neither of them is 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. | + | * **[[#Color Palette|Color Palette]]** |

- | ==== Big Tasks ==== | + | ===== Icons ===== |
- | * **Thunar: Improve the file operation progress dialog** --- //[[jannis@xfce.org|Jannis Pohlmann]] 2011/05/26 19:15// | + | [[|Back to Top]] |
- | * The current shared file operation progress dialog provides rather sparse information. It is not easy to decide what information //should// be displayed and how. | + | ---- |
- | * Initial thoughts were written down here: http:// | + | [[:|Back to main Xfce Wiki page]] |
- | * **Thunar: Add a persistent, editable UI to copy/move files** | + | |
- | * I've seen something like this in OS X recently: whenever drag-and-drop is initiated in Finder, [[http:// | + | [[https://docs.xfce.org|Back to main Xfce documentation page]] |
- | * Have a simple D-Bus service that allows | + | |
- | * **Display Settings: Improve handling of multiple displays** --- // | + | |
- | | + | |
- | * **xfce4-networkmanager** --- // | + | |
- | * [[design: | + | |
- | ==== Smaller Tasks and UI Improvements ==== | + | |
- | * **Thunar: Show free-space-status of devices in sidebar** | + | |
- | * [[design/ | + | |
- | * **Parole** | + | |
- | * [[Parole-UI|Improve Parole' | + | |
- | * **Terminal: Make tabs look the same as in other programs**. | + | |
- | * See https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ | + | |
- | * I agree the tabs look nicer, but the border around the VteWidget is ugly and makes the terminal resize. --- // | + | |
- | * **Notifications: | + | |
- | * Xfce's brightness-notifications (which come from power-manager) have a different style than all other notifications. They' | + | |
- | * I think we should pass these all through the notification daemon (ie what xfce4-volumed does). --- // | + | |
- | * I like the idea of having a few notifications displayed differently, | + | |
- | * **Thunar and keyboard** --- // | + | |
- | * When you create a new folder or file, you type the name, press enter and then you want to open it by pressing enter a second time but you can't. Solution is to just make the file/folder selected after it was created. --- // | + | |
- | * **Simplify Thunar toolbar removing some shortcut menu** --- // | + | |
- | * Thunar with toolbar have 4 different shortcut menu or button. I propose to remove 2 of them to simplify the toolbar.[[http:// | + | |
- | * I agree that some elements in the toolbar are redundant or require too much space. I would like to keep the completion popup button but maybe we can move it into the entry as a secondary icon. Another idea I have for simplifying the toolbar is to drop the history popup buttons and simply show the history menus after pressing the back/ | + | |
- | * I second the idea of dropping the home-shortcut and moving the arrow inside the entry, this makes total sense to me. I also agree with the history-popup-buttons, | + | |
- | * **xfwm4-tabwin** // | + | |
- | * Users should have the option of only showing the outline of the window (which is currently the only option) or the actual window itself, when alt-tabbing. | + | |
- | * Showing the window makes cycling slower and there is an option to cycle windows of the same application which helps with many terminals. See [[https:// | + | |
- | * Would also be nice if the opacity of the window being shown could be selected. | + | |
- | * **Clean up the theme and wallpaper collection.** Include Shimmer themes in the collection. | + | |
- | * **Design a good, default wallpaper for Xfce.** --- // | + | |
- | * **Design a nicer mouse pointer, with curve borders** | + | |
- | * **in the tasklist, group task according to the workspace (when you display task for all workspace)** --- // | + | |
- | * [[http:// | + | |
- | * I second this propose. In my case every workspace has their own fuction (one for web, another for communication tools, third one for development tools and so on) and displaying applications according to the workspace makes it very fast and easy for me to find out the correct application. I'm currently using Tint2 (multi_desktop mode) instead of xfce-panel because of this feature. // | + | |
- | * **Change default window shadows** | + | |
- | * Xfwm4 window shadows are almost symmetrical, | + |
