Xfdesktop
Hello,
now that we have a new member in the crew named kelnos Xfdesktop is improving daily. If you’re a straight followner of the discussions on the list you might even have his latest patch which finally brings icons to XFce’s desktop (Not that we need it ;-). Other things like different backgrounds for different workspaces and CDE’ish application icons are planned. For now kelnos’ primary goal is to get the desktop menu integration into his current code. Well well .. good luck! I can’t wait to see those CDE application icons ;-)
Apart from that this new blog rocks .. and so does it’s creator Francois. Did he actually tell you that we’re (or better: He) playing with animations for the XFce website to illustrate the way certain parts of XFce work? Its gonna be in flash .. and I can tell ya .. its so awesome.
Right, enough for this first test ..
Hello world!
Here is a new toy to play with!
The goal of this site is to provide yet-another-way to communicate for the XFce developers and contributors community, but a less serious one. We already have the XFce main website, which provides official news, resources, documentation, screenshots etc… But because of its multi-languages support, and because of the choice of easy portability that prevailed in its original specifications, xfce.org is quite static. So I guess it was a bit frustrating for XFce developers not being able to post even a little news on it. Thanks to Bachman, XFce users have their own successful forum (more than 470 registered users!). The wikiweb provided by Biju Chacko is the place to suggest new features for XFce. And of course we also have the mailing-lists. This weblog is not intended to be *solely* XFce-centered, even if it sets up a good tool to centralize XFce related (but “unofficial”) informations, and discuss some ideas. But it could be a good place to post an unrelated interesting/funny link too, or to recommend the latest CD of your favorite deathmetal band :P
