Xfce 4.10

Ok, so you'll need the murrine engine for this. You can get the SlackBuild from SlackBuilds.org, but 0.98.1.1 failed to compile on Slackware-current. You can download 0.98.2, and edit murrine.SlackBuild:

Code:

sed -i -e 's/0\.98\.1\.1/0.98.2/' -e 's/bz2/xz/' murrine.SlackBuild

SlackBuild | Greybird

Let me know how it went :-)

Thanks a alot, kabamaru, that went S M O O T H!
Xfce looks just damn' fancy with these icon and window themes! Still quite Unix'ish, but also very modern and ... slick ... (I have no better word, right now).

Much appreciated!

How is the menu under 4.8 and 4.10? I have 4.4 and the menu is horrible to add and manipulate stuff to.

I didn't notice any difference from 4.6 to 4.10, but I don't think it has a poor structure. If you're talking about a native menu editor, there isn't one. From their mailing list:

Xfburn works fine with 4.10, I have no idea where you heard this. Same
for alacarte, however, alacart* does not respect the XDG_MENU_PREFIX spec
(well gnome-menus doesn't). Anyway, a menu editor is probably a goal for
4.12 anyway.

* alacarte = gnome's menu editor
