Comment on Xfce 4.16

Comments

I haven't used Xfce in a long time, but it will always have a soft spot in my heart. It kept my computer usable when I was a teenager, and was the first open source project I contributed to (translations). Congrats to the Xfce team on the new release, and on having hit their stride again, it seems, with the move to GitLab.

Same. I've since moved on to LXDE and then LXQt, but XFCE was there for me first.

LXQt as daily driver? May I ask what distro? Any annoyances?

Lubuntu, dual booted on a win10 machine. They switched over from LXDE a couple versions ago. Couple compatibility errors in an app or two but otherwise I'm really impressed with it.

Same! I wonder if they added in the ability to make the window resize edges wider than 1pixel yet. So many wasted hours trying to find the resize pixel on all the windows

You can assign a key chord with left and right mouse click-and-drag for window movement and resize. Configuring this is one of the first things I do.

I can hold Alt and left-click-and-drag to move the window, or Alt and right-click-and-drag to resize. This works from anywhere in the target window. Resize will move the nearest edge or corner to your click.

Thanks for the tip !

They did not :) I usually use the Resize window menu to do it but I usually use full size windows so I haven't taken the time to find a faster way or maybe a fix.
