Xfce/ru

"Xfce - это легковесное окружение рабочего стола для UNIX-подобных операционных систем. Оно задумано быть быстрым и нересурсоёмким, оставаясь при этом визуально привлекательным и удобным" (цитата с xfce.org).

Avoiding unnecessary dependencies
Avoiding optional GNOME support and packages will keep the system more lean and congruous. This section is entirely optional; proceed in this manner if the goal is to keep the system small(er) rather than large(r).

Ensure that the system is using the basic "desktop" profile:

Use one that ends with (and not  or ):

and listen to the   and/or   USE flag. Disable it so that these packages do not pull in the huge Qt package set:

Of course,  and   can also be set globally in  if one desires.

Setting XFCE_PLUGINS
In, add and customize the  variable:

The above options may change; the current list is available inside ${PORTDIR}/profiles/desc/xfce_plugins.desc.

Emerge
It is time to install the complete Xfce desktop!

Without explicitly including in the emerge command,  will draw in GNOME's  instead. So install it together with and later deselect it so it is not included in the world file:

Of course, it is also possible to select only needed packages:

Менеджер экрана
It is possible to use a display manager to start Xfce. Please refer to the display manager article to configure a display manager.

Most display managers use files to configure available sessions. The following is an example desktop file:

The desktop file can be placed in the right location for the display manager.

Starting Xfce without a display manager
startx and startxfce4 are two of the readily available options for starting Xfce without using a display manager.

startx
When using startx, create a file with the following contents:

startxfce4

Native Xfce theme engine
Xfce's own theme engine,, was updated in version 3.0, which implements native support for GTK+ 3 with no further configuration.

Assuming that the  USE flag is set, the GTK+ 3 version (revision 300 or higher) should be pulled in by default if  or  were installed with a   world upgrade.

If not simply:

This should pull in the right version of through the use of a specific.

After emerging the GTK+ 3 version of, applications using GTK+ 3 should now blend nicely with applications using GTK+ 2 when one of the native Xfce themes is used.

Greybird тема
Another option is to use the Greybird theme, which has support for GTK+ 2, GTK+ 3, xfwm4, emerald, and metacity:

Go to ->  ->. Or run xfce4-appearance-settings. Select "Greybird" from the "Style" list.

Now GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 applications should have a consistent look.
