| - | ====== 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 ==== | + | [[https://docs.xfce.org|Back to main Xfce documentation page]] |
| - | + | ||
| - | * **Thunar: Improve the file operation progress dialog** --- //[[jannis@xfce.org|Jannis Pohlmann]] 2011/05/26 19:15// | + | |
| - | * 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:// | + | |
| - | * **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:// | + | |
| - | * Have a simple D-Bus service that allows to store/ | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * **xfce4-networkmanager** --- // | + | |
| - | * [[design: | + | |
| - | ==== Smaller Tasks and UI Improvements ==== | + | |
| - | * **Thunar: Show free-space-status of devices in sidebar** | + | |
| - | * [[design/ | + | |
| - | * **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. --- // | + | |
| - | * **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. --- // | + | |
| - | * **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. | + | |
| - | * 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. | + | |
| - | * **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, | + | |
