In previous versions of LM-XFCE, i've occasionally used thunar's custom action "Check SHA256". This function no longer seems to work due to the fact that nowhere on my system exists the `mint-sha256sum' app that thunar invokes. synaptic can't find it, and apt-cache policy has no entry eit...

Greeetings to y'all! In previous versions of LM-XFCE, i've occasionally used thunar's custom action "Check SHA256". This function no longer seems to work due to the fact that nowhere on my system exists the `mint-sha256sum' app that thunar invokes. synaptic can't find it, and apt-cache pol...

I appreciate your follow up on this, but I am now a die hard Cinnamon fanatic... :) so, won't be messing with xcfe anymore, especially as I have since bought a super fast laptop with 16gB RAM and a dedicated Nvidia video card with its' own dedicated RAM. Congratuiations on owning that "super f...

Greetings! I am not sure what you're after, but if you are trying to pull random background images off the web, take a look at the "variety" background changer, written by Peter Levy; why re-invent the wheel? At a minimum, "variety" provides a good examle of how its done. I've us...

I have looked around and still can't do it. I have the latest version. If you could explain it as simply as possible it would be appreciated Greetings! Rest assured, you're not alone in your quest for a mac-lookalike setup. Here's a write-up of what someone else has come up with, @ https://www.dedo...

Greetings, and Happy Holidays for you! This shortcut-behavior is a (possibly ancient) "feature" of xfce. See bugreport @ https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7845 and a quick-fix workaround using the "xcape" utility @ https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=49054#p49054 My ...

currently using mint 19.1 cinnamon/xfce and logged into xfce. never knew about alt-F2, it fails here too but i don't use keyboard shortcuts and don't use the appfinder when the menu has the same selection i don't quite know what the question is. xfce4-panel -r will restart the panel Mixing desktops...

Yes, i read so myself; but the OP's "... go back to" suggests otherwise, thus my question (trying to establish a baseline).

Cheers, m4a

I have one in a desktop computer and one in a laptop computer. Both experience the same problems. I think I'll go back to cinnamon. Thank you. Greetings! What do you mean exactly by "... go back to cinnamon"? What edition/version of Linux Mint did you install at the very beginning: cinnam...

mint4all - xdotool keydown <key> and xdotool key <key> and xdotool keyup <key> are valid syntax with slightly different effects. Have a closer look at man xdotool. key Down emulates pressing and releasing the Down arrow key. squalo - your original constructions fails on Mint Cinnamon 19 as-well wit...

Thanks. This works for me now on Mint19Mate , activating first the window. But my old script had worked also all the time on 16.04 Ubuntu-Mate. So somehow it must (have been) worked sending keystrokes to other windows. Greetings! I am using xdotool for a special project (display/hiding of a tablet-...

Greetings! Actually, rearranging Thunar's columns is quite easy to do: {open} Thunar > View {menu} > Configure Columns {option} > tweak column sequence ... Fyi, here's a screenshot: https://image.ibb.co/ed2Va0/Thunar-Columns.png Of course, it helps to switch Thunat's view to the tabular format (pres...

@ pstrbrc... I've checked out your proposed xml-tweak @ https://codebeautify.org/xmlviewer# ... It looks like you have an extra </property> statement at the bottom, and the "Notify" key has no such </property> statement (may not be needed as it is at the end of your xml file). Anyhow, eve...

Greetings! My everyday desktop, a 10yo Dell Precision, was fresh built to LM18.0-xfce, then successively updated from .1 to .2 and is now at 18.3 ... I do not observe this problem on this nor on another 4 systems (@ 18.3), nor on a 12yo Toshiba laptop running LM19.0-xfce. None of the systems have th...

Greetings! According to the manufacturer, your laptop's native display resolution is 1080x600 pixels. However, your system's info shows a resolution of 1024x576 pixels -- 24 vertical pixels short of the 600 pixels the GPU allows for. Sooo, somehow, Xfce's bottom panel (aka Task Bar) appears to be &q...

Thanks for the info. I can't provide the output because the laptop is in use in our barn right now. It doesn't have email either since we use it strictly for media purposes and a little browsing. The laptop is indeed old, an older Asus G2S Gaming Laptop. It has Nvidea graphics, but I'm using the de...

Thank you all! I ended up using a whole new theme. Not my favorite, but it does the job. Thanks for the update -- if that theme-change works ok for you, so much the better :) ... However, i am in the middle of tracking down those tweaks as i have observed that the numerous tweaks i've made to creat...

Thanks for the update. I've reproduced your problem -- observation, actually -- and started tracking down just WHERE in the Mint-X-Orange theme the tweak must be placed. Just to make sure what you're after, here's a screenshot of what my window-list looks like... https://preview.ibb.co/h1mjde/Window...

Greetings!

Before suggesting a workaround, what appearance-"theme" are you using? There are 2 settings to check: Menu > Settings > Appearance > "Style" tab; and Menu > Settings > Window Manager > "Style" tab. Thanks for checking.

Cheers, m4a

right-click panel > Panel > Panel Preferences > Appearance > Style: None or Solid color and then move Alpha slider to 0% which is transparent for temperatures install xfce4-sensors-plugin (you can search synaptic for xfce4 plugins ) . once installed right-click the panel > Panel > Panel Preferences...
