With X there is 1 server implementation that everyone uses. On the other hand, with Wayland each DE project has chosen to reinvent the wheel. How is that an improvement is beyond me.

Nice... Small but useful improvements while the big task was porting everything to GTK3 which also made losing to XFCE4 the title of extra-light-weight DE that now it is seems to be hold, mysteriously, by Mate. Even though both are GTK3 based and even though MATE uses more GNOME3 pieces than XFCE4 people still consider MATE lighter than XFCE4... Anyway, who care about it?
Speaking about the future I hope XFCE4 is going to adopt WLROOTS rather than WESTON, the conformation under the flag of RED HAT/IBM is is not good at all...Last edited by Danielsan; 23 December 2020, 12:48 PM.

Originally posted by atomsymbolxfdesktop's memory consumption depends on the screen resolution. Assuming a single 4K display, this currently means at least 3840*2160*4 = 32MiB of memory.
Originally posted by atomsymbolxfdesktop's memory leaks related to turning the display on/off are fixed in XFCE 4.16. If you still feel that xfdesktop consumes too much memory, please file a bug report at https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfdeskt...&search=memory
At the moment, I'm more interested in submitting a new "Borderless" xfwm4 window manager theme. Since writing my previous message, I made the theme I wanted.
I got rid of the left and right window borders entirely and shrunk the bottom border by a few pixels. You can't resize windows on the left or right any more, now that there is no border there. And that suits me just fine!
Most applications I use have a vertical scroll bar along the right hand side. I used to unintentionally resize my window while trying to use that scroll bar. With this Borderless theme, accidentally resizing the window is far less likely to occur, and I've regained a little screen real estate too.
Here is a link for anyone interested in a Borderless theme. Unzip into your ~/.themes/ folder and then tell xfce to use the "Borderless" theme.

Where were you seeing pink?
