xfdashboard - 0.1.4

xfdashboard provides a GNOME shell dashboard like interface for use with Xfce desktop. It can be configured to run to any keyboard shortcut and when executed provides an overview of applications currently open enabling the user to switch between different applications. The search feature works like Xfce's app finder which makes it convenient to search for and start applications.

The latest version of the xfdashboard will be available in updates-testing repository for Fedora 19 and Fedora 20 soon. The packages are building in koji and will be submitted for testing soon.

The new version (0.1.4) includes support for themes. From the git changelog,

New feature: Add support for theming with CSS. A default theme called 'xfdashboard' will be installed and is a CSS version of the previously hard-coded style. You can now develop and tweak the appearance you like.


More information about xfdashboard can be found from the http://xfdashboard.froevel.de/ (developer's site)

Documentation for theming is here - http://xfdashboard.froevel.de/theming.html

    Is it possible to configure xfdashboard to start when pushing the mouse to a screen edge?

      At this point, I don't think so. I will see what the author thinks.

    This would be great! Those plugins work really well if you want to save screen space and they are nice if you want to replicate the GNOME-Shell experience with xfdashboard.
    Thank you again.

Beautiful themes for Fedora - update

After my previous post last night, I decided to setup a COPR repo for the themes to facilitate easier installation. Here is the link - GTK3-themes COPR This COPR can be enabled as dnf copr enable nonamedotc/gtk3-themes Packages can be installed as dnf install arc-theme-red-{,gtk2,gtk3,xfwm4,cinnamon,gnome-shell} At the moment, there are four themes built in the COPR - Arc Arc-Red Vertex Adapta Hopefully, at some point, I will submit this for package review.

Xfce 4.12 COPR availbale for Fedora 20 and 21

A COPR repo for Xfce 4.12 is now ready for Fedora 21 and 20. The link to the COPR repo is https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce412/ If you are one of those using dnf on Fedora 21, the repo can be enabled using dnf copr enable nonamedotc/xfce412 Alternatively, visit the link above and download the .repo file and add it to /etc/yum.repos.d . New package : xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is a new panel plugin that is available in this repo. Important:    If you have my xfce411 COPR repo enabled, disable it. That repo will go away very soon.     xfce4-mixer in xfce411 COPR repo is version 4.11 whereas one in xfce412 repo is xfce4-mixer-4.10.x. This might need uninstalling the 4.11 version followed by installing the older version from 412 repo. Please report all bug reports related to packages in this COPR repo directly to me. Please do NOT bugzilla for these packages. Alternatively, use Fedoraforums (this link) - http://forums.fedoraforum.org

Xfce 4.11 (development version) repo

Xfce 4.11, the development release in the journey towards the next stable 4.12, was released recently. I have built some Xfce 4.11 components for Fedora 20 and rawhide in COPR. It is not complete yet - xfce4-session is missing for one. I have not seen any problems in my test virtual machines or on my laptop - but that's no assurance. For those who want to try, repository links are below. But first, ** Do not use bugzilla for reporting bugs for this COPR package ** Here is the link to my Xfce - 4.11 repo - https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce411/ Although, page shows Fedora 19 repo, do NOT try these packages on Fedora 19. Good luck! :)
