As far as I can see, next Xfce will be more modern, more beautiful.
What does more modern and more beautiful actually mean to the user?

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

Desktop icons quit moving around every startup.

One practical issue with some CSD apps is there isn't a lot of empty space in the combination top window bar cum tool bar to grab hold of, when you want to move it with your mouse.

That's because for some apps that whole top strip could be filled with menu buttons, filepath window, min/max/close buttons, etc.

That was developed to assist users with hand - eye coordination and increase brain motor function.

I think it is a STEM initiative of some sort.... just kidding couldn't resist.

But seriously, did you post a thread on this, I thought I saw one.... I guess a solution wasn't found.... off to check on that.

I have set up a poll on CSD here on https://forum.xfce.org. Please vote to show the Xfce developers what we think of the CSD idea. https://www.survey-maker.com/poll2745169xa68C4851-80

As you can see they first wanted the poll moved and then they finally removed the poll. It looks like we received an answer that the Xfce developers don't care about what their user base has to say about it and CSD is coming to Xfce if we like it or not. :frown: Luckily there are other desktop environments to choose from. ;)

Looky here, especially the Before and After screenshots near the bottom: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.16/roadm ... ral_ui/csd. I for one like the new look! And as it's still using GTK theming, imschmeg's requirements for his vision impairment issues can still be met by using an appropriate GTK theme.
