     * I've seen something like this in OS X recently: whenever drag-and-drop is initiated in Finder, [[http://www.techteam.gr/mac/screenshots/40050.jpg|a black drop area pops up]] at th edge of the screen. Files can be dropped there and users can later drag them from the area back into another folder or application. We could do something similar. Here are some ideas:      * I've seen something like this in OS X recently: whenever drag-and-drop is initiated in Finder, [[http://www.techteam.gr/mac/screenshots/40050.jpg|a black drop area pops up]] at th edge of the screen.

       * Have a simple D-Bus service that allows to store/retrieve a list of URIs (potentially grouped by an application or task specific ID). Have a standalone application or a panel plugin implement this to visualize the files that are in memory. Maybe split up the visualization into a "copy" and a "cut" area. In Thunar, add URIs to this storage if Ctrl+C/Ctrl+X are pressed or whatever other methods there are to initiate a copy/cut operation. Heck, maybe even allow arbitrary objects to be stored instead of just URIs, perhaps using a semantic temporary storage. We could also think about defining standard storage group IDs for common purposes.  --- //[[jannis@xfce.org|Jannis Pohlmann]] 2011/09/20 15:40//       * Have a simple D-Bus service that allows to store/retrieve a list of URIs (potentially grouped by an application or task specific ID).

   * **Change default window shadows**   * **Change default window shadows**
     * Xfwm4 window shadows are almost symmetrical, which doesn't look right with most of the Gtk themes. Also, many themes needlessly override these settings, preventing users from setting their own values. See https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8408 for more information.  --- //[[ndrwrdck@gmail.com|Andrzej]] 2012/02/08 10:55//     * Xfwm4 window shadows are almost symmetrical, which doesn't look right with most of the Gtk themes.

 +  * **Menu bars: More consistency **  --- //[[simon@ochsenreither.de|Simon Ochsenreither]] 2017/09/28 12:00//
 +    * Introduce setting to show/hide menu bar by default (probably using ''Gtk/ShellShowsMenubar'' underneath)
 +    * Introduce common shortcut to temporarily display menu bar (many non-XFCE applications use Alt for it)
