I personally dislike XFCE4

What do you not like about it? I always find it interesting to discover what types of window/desktop manager features please or irk various individuals.

What's to like, it's all what's good about GNOME stripped in the name of speed.

I just like the way XFCE4 runs "out of the box" so to speak. While there are a few things I would change with regard to the taskbar and panel I find the general setup more agreeable than a lot of the other desktop offerings available. It is also fairly easy to configure to my liking via its settings panel and comes with a decent set of themes. While these features may exist in other window managers/desktop environments XFCE4 seems to be one of the more convenient ways to get the features I require. I think with the plethora of WM/DEs available now there eventually becomes a point where, within a subgroup of similar WM/DEs, the choice of one over another is either based on extreme nitpicking or is simply made arbitrarily.

SUSE 9 with KDE set to use KDE 1 Window decorations and the "Windows" style. Default background, "Redmond 2000" color scheme and default "Crystal" icons. Default panel with exception of uping the virtual desktop from 2 to 4 and adding the OpenOffice Quickstarter to the tray.

What in the name of %"%&"!!"&(==&4!!! do all those tray icons do ?

Otherwise fairly standard, not exellent not horrible either... lots of room for improvement.

I just installed this a couple days ago, so I haven't done a lot of customizing yet... (mostly just changed that default light brownish color to gray)

...whee.

That's tolerable for now, but compared to the somewhat dark and dreary thing I have going on in Windows XP, the window color scheme is a little too cheery looking, so I don't think it'll stay like this for very long...

Who is that nice young lady?

other than that, fairly nice, transparency I don't see why and your home folder font color should probably be changed or some effect added to the side of the wallpaper to make text readable.

Also did nobody tell you cds were evil, the almighty ones gave us ogg vorbis for a reason
