Re: Missing some Desktop Icons

Hi Robotechie, First have a look at Settings -> Desktop -> Icons tab. There you can see what you can display on the desktop. However, all is not lost. If you right click on the desktop you should see the option to "Create Launcher". To add a Desktop-Icon for 'Computer' you need to create a...

Hi AndrzejNowak,

Have a look here.

P.s. This is also true for Xfce 4.16.

Hi rattkjelke,

In Settings -> Appearance -> Style tab try another theme. Adwaita gives me what I believe you are looking for. Also any theme in the Mint-Y series.

Re: Open directory from Disks opens Devices & Locations instead of filemanager

Hi vansloneker, I had the exact same problem. This solved it for me. Open the "MIME Type Editor". Filter on "inode". You should now see an entry for inode/directory. Right clicking on it will open a window with a list of options. Choose the option "exo-open". You may ne...

Re: Change Desktop Font COLOR ?

Hi tovian, It depends which version of Xfce you have. For >= 4.14 then in your home folder in .config in the folder gtk-3.0 create the file "gtk.css". Here is a simple example to get you started: XfdesktopIconView.label { color: white; text-shadow: none; } Put that in the file "gtk.cs...

Re: XFCE "create archive" issue

Hi alivanos, thunar-archive-plugin uses xarchiver as it's back end. Xarchiver, in turn, uses things like p7zip and p7zip-full. Perhaps that is what's missing. I just found this thread which seems to describe your issue. There is also a bug report in the thread you can look at. Unfortunately it doesn...

Re: Thunar, file-roller, and xarchiver

Hi guinnessthecat,

If you don't need/use xarchiver why not simply uninstall it? The thunar-archive-plugin will work quite happily with file-roller.

Re: Is cinnamon-desktop supposed to install under xfce?

Hi Brody,

I also got that update. No, you don't need it. If you uninstall it then xviewer (Image Viewer) will also be uninstalled. I already had another image viewer installed so I just uninstalled cinnamon-desktop-data which took libcinnamon-desktop4 and xviewer with it.

Hope this helps. :wink:

Hi bich_30,

If you mean the text directly under an icon than this is it. Otherwise I don't know what you mean by "the font used in desktop icons".

Re: Any way to make Gnome windows use XFCE theme?

Hi Pheeble,

I can't speak to fonts, but for Calculator you may want to try mate-calc. It''s the same as the Gnome version. I tested it with the Wallis theme and it does use it.
I prefer to use the MATE version instead of the Gnome Version whenever possible. Hope this helps.

Re: After update to LM 19.3 icon font color wrong

Hi catweazle352, I believe I can help you part of the way. 19.3 is using Xfce 14.4 which is now GTK3 based. This means that .gtlrc2-0 is no longer used. You now use ./.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css for those changes. I use a simple one that contains this: XfdesktopIconView.label { color: black; text-shadow...

Re: Panel is messed up with flexible space on extreme right.

Hi lonely_llama,

It looks like you put the Separator all the way to the left side. It should be just to the left of the notification area.
So you get: everything else Separator notification area clock

Hi White Phoenix,

I can get this with copy/paste. I copy a folder and then paste it into the "Desktop" folder in my Home folder. It shows up on the desktop and it is not a symlink.
