-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.+The Xfce Design SIG aims at improving the usability and visual appearance of the Xfce desktop environment.

-  * **Terminal: Make tabs look the same as in other programs**.  
-    * See https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7616 for more information. A [[https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=3703|screenshots of the difference]] is in the bug too. 
-      * I agree the tabs look nicer, but the border around the VteWidget is ugly and makes the terminal resize. --- //[[nick@xfce.org|Nick Schermer]] 2011/06/04 10:34// 
-  * **Thunar and keyboard** --- //[[pops451@gmail.com|pops]] 2011/06/05 13:23// 
-    * 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. --- //[[pops451@gmail.com|pops]] 2011/06/05 13:23// 
-  * **xfwm4-tabwin** //[[nick@afternight.org|nickl]] 2011/06/05// 
-    * 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.  This is especially useful, for example, when you have many terminals open on a single desktop and what to see what's in each one.  
-      * 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://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2701|Bug 2701]] for more information on this matter. --- //[[peter@xfce.org|Peter de Ridder]] 2011/12/16 11:24// 
-    * 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.  --- //[[pasi@shimmerproject.org|Pasi Lallinaho]] 2011/06/22 22:56//   * **Clean up the theme and wallpaper collection.** Include Shimmer themes in the collection.  --- //[[pasi@shimmerproject.org|Pasi Lallinaho]] 2011/06/22 22:56//
     * I think that this can by a good solution for the gtk3-engine-xfce and the theme in gtk3, since nobody care for these component nor the theming, I think is good simply and for all select a non engine-dependant theme and whit popper maintainance. And make it the default.     * I think that this can by a good solution for the gtk3-engine-xfce and the theme in gtk3, since nobody care for these component nor the theming, I think is good simply and for all select a non engine-dependant theme and whit popper maintainance.

     * 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.
