Xfce-4.18 in Slint-15.0 shown in the picture below, packages built by George Vlahavas for Salix installed with this command:

Code:

slapt-get --install-set xfce

with added default configuration in /etc/skel and a few additional packages: mainly Qogir-icon-theme and qogir-theme.

Do you use tango? I'd be happy to see a classic, clean look. Never much liked adwaita myself.

Xfce developer Adlo continues working on rewriting xfwm4-wayland as part of the effort to provide native and clean Wayland support as part of this lightweight, GTK-based desktop environment. Adlo has regularly posted status updates to the Wayland mailing list as part of this effort........

Hello friends, I have a problem.
After a few minutes xfce crashes, but when trying to unlock my computer there is a black screen.
This did not happen weeks ago.
Do you know why this happens?
