Deklan?

The long awaited Xfce 4.12 has been released, enjoy :) News http://xfce.org/about/news/?post=1425081600 Tour http://xfce.org/about/tour duncan.britton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrc Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Good to see. I'll look forward to it appearing in portage. I hope that as XFCE starts moving to GTK3 they'll avoid client side decorations or any of the other "mobile-like" features. I don't need my desktop to look like a tablet. What's the preferred replacement for xfce-mixer? Deklan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deklan? Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I was intrigued by the question: Substitute the xfce-mixer :huh: It is only basic and native interface to GStreamer, ALSA and PulseAudio alternatively :ph34r: Finally, what is your hardware and problem detected?

nrc Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 No problem right now. I ask because the release notes for xfce 4.12 say that xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed will no longer be maintained because gstreamer1.0 dropped the mixer-interface. I currently use xfce4-mixer to control volume and mute or unmute devices. Deklan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Vinichenko Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 xfce4-mixer will work anyway. Deklan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deklan? Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Update 4.12 completed successfully and new theme: MediterraneanNight Series 2.03 \o/ xfce4-taskmanager 1.1.0 was pending update on the tree so far :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrc Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Installed without issues today. Nothing earthshaking but it's progress. I like alt-tab cycling through the windows as a list. Of course xfce4-mixer still works fine. I'm just wondering what "not maintained" means for the future. Deklan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan.britton Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Does anyone know how to enable the window previews in the alt-tab dialog? Deklan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deklan? Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Does anyone know how to enable the window previews in the alt-tab dialog? Hi Duncan! Disable the option: "Cycle through windows in a list" ^_^ duncan.britton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan.britton Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hey Deklan. Thanks for the reply! However, I have that option unchecked and only get a preview of the window's icon, not the window itself. I am trying to get the third picture from this link [http://www.xfce.org/about/tour] and can only get the 1st and 2nd pictures (by checking and unchecking the "Cycle through windows in a list" option). Do I have to be using XFCE's compositor to do this, or can I get the previews using a compositor such as compton? Thanks! EDIT: I just found the answer. Apparently the preview mode only works with XFCE's native XRender compositor, not with compton. Deklan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryvandaar Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I love the new Xfce. Xfce was already awesome, and I didn't think it could get even more awesome. :) Deklan? and duncan.britton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
