Hello!
I'd like to share with you all that xfce will have a new default look soon in Tumbleweed, for new installations. 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 has a wide support for different languages, including Asian languages and emojis making it a good default. * Font: Hack is cool and one of the most complete monospace fonts around * 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. [...] Instead I got a new xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin and battery status which I definitely did not have before (and never needed them).
FWIW, the hp-systray application captured by the new statusnotifier-plugin doesn't work anymore. One click is handled, but any further click in the notifier menu is not passed on to the hp-systray app anymore. Question remains: how do we deal with packages developed in some ABC:xyz project?
