Xfce 4.10 Desktop Feature Release

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 28, 2012

The Xfce project on Saturday afternoon released Xfce 4.10 as the first major Xfce desktop feature release in about sixteen months.

This successor to Xfce 4.8 features a more polished experience for this lightweight desktop environment, a brand new application finder, a vertical display mode option for the Xfce panel, a new MIME type editor, behavioral changes, and the window manager can be configured to tile windows when dragging them to screen edges. There's also Alt-Tab improvements and other functionality improvements.

For more details on the Xfce 4.10 desktop release see the Xfce.org news announcement and the Xfce tour that highlights some of the improvements.
