X-IPI Cepero Bonilla-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-MailScanner-Envelope-From: elav@...
X-Spam-Status: No

Hi:
I recently posted in the forum of an article[1] showing an Xfce Mockup
for Xfce 4.8, and I want to say something.

It would be nice if the developers of Xfce made available to a website
where users can do a brainstorming. So in this way, we could decide
between all the things that could include new versions of Xfce.

Xfce 4.6 has been a radical change in the accessibility and user
interaction, but it can improve visual detail to include, for example
panels with rounded edges.

What first hooked to users when they see KDE? Their appearance. And it
would be good to improve the Xfce a little trying not to sacrifice the
use of resources.

How complicated would be to make some rounded edges on the panels? Does
this increase the consumption of resources?

Sorry for my bad English.

Most (all?) of the active developers don't read the forum.

We have such a site: http://wiki.xfce.org/.  Really, though, that's a
"pull" method of getting information to people.  You need to create the
content, and then somehow let people know it's there.  If you really
want to get involved in development discussion, the xfce4-dev mailing
list is the right place to be.

While input is certainly valued from the user community, I think you're
using "decide" a bit strongly here.

Something like that is best filed as a feature request against the panel
in bugzilla.  If you want to talk about something related to more than
one Xfce component, then the xfce4-dev list is the best place.

It's very good!  When my Spanish is as good as your English, then I'll
be happy ^_~.

That's cool looking, but most of that can be done just by writing a new
gtk theme (or finding a similar one out there somewhere and modifying
it).  You don't need us for that!  The different menu layout is a little
more problematic.  It looks good in the mockup, but there are other
considerations, like what you do when you have a lot of items in the
submenu.

I like the look of the panels but not a fan of the menus. I prefer the
existing style. I also use fluxbox and I create a similar menu there.

Never apologize for who you are.

The menu was just an idea. What I would like to add the panels with rounded edges.
