Mx-25 Suggestions and requests

#1 Post by mikey.mj »

I have been using the xfce 23 from over the past 2 years and I absolutely loved it
But I hate the fact that it look kind of outdated by default and also I had a lot of issues with the screen tearing and black screen issues with the lightdm especially when i try to switch my wallpaper to a high resolution and also the bootsplash.
Here are some suggestions I would love to make for the upcoming MX-25
1. Please use slick-greeter as default instead of lightdm-gtk-greeter- as it is not supporting high resolution images >2MB
2. Use wayland or Picom as default compositor as the xfwm or compton are having so many issues as they are causing screen tearing a lot even sometimes when I tried to change my wallpapers sometimes.
I absolutely hate the screen tearing issues while I'm doing my project work and I request you to please use picom or wayland (I know its not supported xfce) but if you can make some work to make it work, I would love it.
3.Use triple tearing protection by default
4. Use arc-dark and papirus blue icons as default,it will bring some look and also some new members who know nothing about tweaking because most people would love it when it looks nice and everything comes out of the box
5.Also make whisker menu icon modern and also make icon view as default, It looks really good when it combined with arc dark and using start menu icon from the icons pack which comes default.
6.Use pipewire as default audio player instead of the pulse audio or deadbeef
7. change the bootsplash to something modern like "cuts bootsplash" or make something that looks nice like "greatest"
8.Also some good and eye candy wallpaper by default make it way better
9. I also love to see that the os auto recognizes the system and install the best drivers or kernels that suits that pc or laptop.

I am going to attach an image that looks kind of nice for me with just using the system given that makes it look nice.
if you like it. plese make it look like that instead of something that look like the we are in the 90s
