Conheça o Xfce 4.14

Será apresentado a você, os novos recursos do Xfce 4.14. Ele somente cobre a parte superficial; para a lista completa de alterações, veja o registro de alterações.

Settings Manager (xfce4-settings)

Janela de perfis de cor

A new dialog for setting color profiles for monitors, printers and scanners was introduced. It acts as a frontend to various daemons that talk directly to colord, e.g. saned (scanners), cupsd (printers) or xiccd (monitors).

Configurações do monitor

Several improvements were made to the display dialog. Apart from tweaks to the user interface to make the interaction more intuitive (introducing display numbering, showing a primary indicator with quick access to panel, notification and desktop settings etc.) a feature to save and restore complete display profiles was added. If a single profile exists for a setup, the Xfce settings daemon will automatically enable it. If multiple profiles exist, it will pop up the minimal dialog and offer all profiles in addition to the previously available pre-sets (internal only, mirror, extend and external only).

Acessibilidade

One accessibility feature that people coming from other desktop environments or operating systems were still missing is to set a (custom) keyboard shortcut (by default: Super+F1) to visually locate the mouse pointer. This feature was added in Xfce 4.14.

Panel (xfce4-panel)

Geral: tamanho do ícone

A new feature that we introduced in the panel is being able to control the icon size of all plugins. (‘All’ may not be technically correct, as not all plugins support the new API as of now, but now they can. Plus the Window buttons plugin is an exception, because libwnck doesn’t allow anything other than 16px or 32px.) This means setups that were previously impossible, because icons would upscale automatically according to size-steps hard-coded in the panel, are now possible (see below).

Botões de janelas: agrupamento

Grouping was improved in the Window buttons plugin, both functionally (by improving the matching and icon-finding) and visually by providing a new group indicator that is less likely to clash with window titles containing an enumeration in brackets.

Session (xfce4-session)

Diálogo de configurações

As soon as a session has been saved a new tab is dynamically added to the settings dialog displaying all saved sessions and allowing to delete one or all of them. This should make it way more discoverable for users if they actually have saved sessions that influence the startup behavior - previously this had to be checked manually in the filesystem.

File Manager (thunar)

Barra de caminho

Up to Xfce 4.12 Thunar offered two options for the pathbar/locationbar. The best of both worlds has now been mixed into one powerful pathbar, featuring both clickable breadcrumbs (i.e. folders), an easily accessible way to hand-type a path as well as an improved look.

Gerador de miniaturas das pastas

Same as on the Desktop you can now save an image with the name ‘folder.jpg’ in a folder and get it displayed as its icon in the File Manager. Note: Please read the docs on how to set this up (if your distribution hasn’t enabled it by default).

Power Manager (xfce4-power-manager)

Plug-in do painel

The Power Manager’s panel plugin supports symbolic icons now and uses the standard UPower icon names (making it more compatible with all icon themes). It also shows an indicator if applications inhibit power management functions like suspend (when power is low) or display dimming (after a defined timeout).

Notification Service (xfce4-notifyd)

Configurações

Several new features have been added in Xfce’s Notification service, including a notifications log, the possibility to disable notifications per application, a global ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode, which inhibits all notifications, and finally a new animation (‘slide out’).

Plug-in do painel

Além disso, foi adicionado um novo plugin de painel que fornece acesso rápido ao modo ’não perturbe’, bem como ao registro de notificações recentes.

Media Player (parole)

Modo mini

Parole now features a ‘Mini Mode’, where the interface is simplified to just display the album artwork and can be positioned over other windows without getting in the way.

Screensaver (xfce4-screensaver)

Uma experiência moderna de bloqueio

The new Xfce Screensaver provides a configurable lockscreen experience. You can selectively toggle the lock screen and screensaver, and all Xscreensaver themes are supported (with configuration options) out of the box. If you prefer a blank screen, Xfce Screensaver also includes a blank screen option with DPMS integration.

Terminal (xfce4-terminal)

Lots and lots of features have accumulated in the Terminal over the last years. Amongst them ‘Undo Close Tab’ and ‘Close Other Tabs’ functionality (similar to web browsers), ‘Copy Input to All Tabs’, ‘Set Title Color’ (allows to customize tab text color), ‘Save Contents’ (saves tab contents to a file), an ‘Unsafe Paste’ dialog (which prevents the terminal from auto-executing pasted text as a command) and support for zooming. Finally when closing a tab or window, there is a new check for running processes which prevents accidentally closing a terminal that is running a process.

Screenshooter (xfce4-screenshooter)

The Xfce Screenshooter gained several notable features, amongst others seeing the size of the screenshot while dragging, moving the selection with the mouse and better imgur integration.
