A new pre-release of the long-awaited 4.14 release of the best Linux desktop Xfce will be available in a matter of hours.
Xfce 4.14pre2 has a lot of improvements to it's xfwm4 window manager, important bug fixes for thunar and a lot of minor improvements like translation fixes.
There is not and will not be any Wayland support.
no more screen tearing?
>There is not and will not be any Wayland support.
Why is Xfce discriminating against my choice of display protocol?
FUCKING THIS
>inb4 lol just install Compton
I SHOULDN'T FUCKING HAVE TO
I have no tearing in xfce 4.14 but I haven't actually removed
Section "Device"
Identifier "AMD"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "TearFree" "1"
Option "VariableRefresh" "true"
EndSection
in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf so I'm not entirely sure if it's eliminated or not. It's supposed to be fixed and the compositor is rewritten since 4.12. I haven't actually tested how well that works without Option "TearFree" "1"
lol just install Compton
>xfway is a Wayland compositor inspired by xfwm4:

>I'm not sure if this is an actual attempt at a port or more of a spin-off project a la Sway, but here it is, and I just wondered if you would like to have a look at it.
>It supports the wlr-foreign-toplevel protocol, which can be used for window management functions, and the wlr-layer-shell protocol, which can be used for creating panels etc.
>At the moment it's little more than a Weston clone with some wlroots support, but there you go.
I moved to KDE a couple of years ago, but last time there was a simple fix, and was installing a package from experimental, maybe it was moved to testing already or even stable.
just checked, still on experimental
xfwm4 4.13, should fix the tearing
So no gtk3, i was excited to see how the best DE would turn out with it.
gnome 3.32.2 works fine
Pray tell what media player is that?
YOU SUCK
It's Xfce's own media player Parole.
Xfce 4.14 is based on GTK3.
Thank you, I'm setting this as my default media player instead of that minimalist garbage MPV.

Does xfwm finally have an option to disable window decorations?
kind of. Window manager tweaks -> opacity of window decorations, set it to totally transparent. thus; there's no window decorations. But though they are transparent they _are_ present as far as things like GIMP are concerned. If you look closely at picture related: It's a picture of a single window yet it includes an area around it (where the transparent window decorations are)
Xfce's original creator Olivier Fourdan's actually one of the developers working on Wayland on the behest of IBM/RedHat. It's kind of interesting how he had to give up his involvement with Xfce to work there.
arc > greybird
yes
but you mean the broken vsync that prevented you from using the compositing for transparency
vsync in xorg is de/wm independent
iirc that did not work
but the git one does
no it doesn't
please tell them to fix the context menu scroll bug of thunar
you can see his commits on their git
what are you talking about
why? it has had the option to not have then for maximised windows
i'm running arcolinux xfce 4.13 will I be able to upgrade?
>that 예인
amazing taste, have a (You)
they are about to let you have the technology. very soon.
