Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for unix-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use.

Xfce 4.12

== Installation ==

To install Xfce including its dependencies (like GTK+), use:

{{{
sudo port install xfce
}}}

To make Xfce start when X11 is started, add it to your config (make sure you don't have a ~/.xinitrc file):

{{{
echo "exec startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc.d/99-xfce.sh
chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc.d/99-xfce.sh
}}}

Users of the old X11.app from Tiger will need to do this instead:
{{{
echo "exec startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc
}}}
 

== Appearance ==

This works and looks best when running XQuartz in full screen mode.

Even better if you install the "Clearlooks" engine and switch themes:

{{{
sudo port install gtk-engines2
}}}

Put this into your `~/.gtkrc-2.0` file:
{{{
gtk-theme-name = "Clearlooks"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"
}}}
