[opensuse-xfce] X11:xfce/xfce4-branding-openSUSE - nothing provides metatheme-mint-common
by Manfred Hollstein 18 Dec '18

Hi there, I still have to use openSUSE_Leap_42.3 on several of the systems I maintain, so in the interest to have a common XFCE on all systems either running 42.3 or 15.0, I'd like to keep the list of installed packages in sync. I just saw that xfce4-branding-openSUSE cannot be built because of its hard requirement for metatheme-mint-common. Is that really necessary? I thought mint is another forked Gnome desktop variation, so why does XFCE *require* it? Can we work around it? TIA, cheers. l8er manfred

[opensuse-xfce] Updated XFCE brandings still not fully functional for existing users
by Manfred Hollstein 17 Dec '18

Hi there, I just installed the latest updates from X11:xfce/openSUSE_Leap_15.0, logged out and in again, and my main panel is screwed up again. Here are the differences between what I had and what I got after the updates: 1. systray got removed, including its settings 2. a separator got added instead Not as bad as with the last updates, but still... HTH, cheers. l8er manfred

[opensuse-xfce] New xfce default look coming soon in Tumbleweed
by Maurizio Galli (MauG) 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Hello! I'm happy to share with you that xfce will have a new look soon in Tumbleweed :). Here below is a recap of the changes: * GTK theme: Mint-Y-Darker-Teal (modern look that uses teal as highlight, matching openSUSE color schemes) * xfwm4 theme: Mint-Y-Dark-Teal * icon theme: elementary-xfce (inspired by Tango and Elementary) * Font: Noto Sans looks good and has a wide support for different languages, including Asian languages and emojis. Should be default * Font: Hack is a cool monospace font * Font: Hint Slight is usually considered a better default for hinting * Font: Added "rgb" value, recommended setting for LCD screens (if font looks like a "rainbow" you need to enable lcd filter in Yast > Font module) Please note that these changes will only affect new installations of TW with xfce and only if xfce4-branding-openSUSE sub-packages are installed. Existing users should not be affected by this.

[opensuse-xfce] New xfce unstable repository for preview and testing
by Maurizio Galli (MauG) 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Dear Xfce users, A new Xfce repository for the unstable release of Xfce Desktop Environment is now available for openSUSE: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/X11:xfce:rat RAT is the acronym for "Released After Today", meaning the future release of Xfce. In a more playful way, a rat is meant to represent the unpolished nature of this release: a rat is scruffy looking compared to a mouse (the cute and beloved mascot of Xfce) :-). The goal of this project is to test and preview the new software so that bugs can be spotted and fixed ahead of time by contributing upstream. The software in this repository is from Xfce Git Master Branch thus meant for development and testing only. Because commits are frequent and bugs/regressions are very likely, its use in production devices is strongly discouraged. We hope you'll have fun with it and anyone is welcome to contribute to it if wishes to do so! Cheers, -- Maurizio Galli (MauG) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner(a)opensuse.org
