dexter11 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 XFCE 4.6 has been released after 2 years of development. Take a look at the visual tour to see the new features. If you like what you see, you can download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 A does not have to upgrade to Mandriva 2009? ....Lex It is already in /cooker/contrib so I guess it will be present in 2009.1 I don't think it will be backported to 2009.0 though. And you'd rather backup and wipe your former 4.4.3 settings to get 4.6.0 working properly- many things have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking777 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It is already in /cooker/contrib so I guess it will be present in 2009.1 It doesn't install though I just tried it and it fails (usual thing, missing dependency but I can't remember what it was). I'll leave it a day or so, it will probably come right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexicon Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) The best way to add to Urpmi. Or create a script such as the NVIDIA drivers. Install from a 3 level ....Lex Edited February 28, 2009 by Lexicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave it a day or so, it will probably come right. I didn't even have to wait that long, it installed properly this evening. I don't see a lot to get excited about though, correction, I don't see anything to get excited about. 2 years of development and they can't even manage to get an 'always on top' button to go on the window border!! It must be me, virtually every 'improvement' I read about is of no consequence to me whatsoever. I sometimes wonder if I am on the same planet as everyone else : :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) it has been there for ages, you just need to add it, you can do it from the window manager settings edit: although it doesn't seem to work...

viking777 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 it has been there for ages, you just need to add it, you can do it from the window manager settings edit: although it doesn't seem to work... There is a screenshot of Xfce 4.6 window manager settings. Please tell me how to add an 'always on top' button from there. If I am in the wrong screen then could you possibly direct me to the correct one. Ta very much viking777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 There is no such button in xfwm... don't bother. But- even if I fail to understand why such a button is a must, you can use XFCE4 using either compiz or Openbox as window manager (probably other WM's as well). Most of the time I use it with compiz, and a simple+elegant theme. It may not be the perfect DE, but ATM there's nothing better than that (probably KDE 3.5.10, but since it's obsolete we'd rather try something else instead).

ffi Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 hot of Xfce 4.6 window manager settings. Please tell me how to add an 'always on top' button from there. If I am in the wrong screen then could you possibly direct me to the correct one. Ta very much viking777 sorry my mistake, I thought stick would do it but apperently it does something else. It is in the window menu though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
