HOWTO: Lightest XFCE - Making XFCE lighter and faster
XFCE is generally light out from the box but it can be a lot more light, to have most of its functionality we need only these 3 processes running:
Code:
VSZ RSS COMMAND 14080 9300 xfwm4 23448 12020 xfce4-panel 19836 9512 xfce4-menu-plugin /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4-wm /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4-panel /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4-desktop # to get xfce4-menu-plugin /usr/ports/x11-fm/thunar # to have nice and light file manager /usr/ports/graphics/feh # to have wallpaper and nice ultra light/fast image viewer. to start XFCE with only these processes we will use this ~/.xinitrc: Code:
xfce4-panel & pid=$! { xfwm4 --compositor=off --daemon && killall -9 xfce-mcs-manager & random_wallpaper.sh ~/gfx/wallpapers & } wait $pid Code:
#! /bin/sh walls="${1}" count=`ls ${walls} | wc -l` random=`( time ps aux ; date +"%S" ; w ) 2>&1 | cksum | awk '{print substr($0, 0, 5)}'` choosen=`expr ${random} % ${count} + 1` feh --bg-scale ${walls}/`ls ${walls} | sed -n ${choosen}p` Code:
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango-Blue-Materia" gtk-theme-name = "Luminance" gtk-font-name = "Sans 10" gtk-icon-theme-name: http://vermaden.go.pl/tmp/xfce-icons.tar.gz gtk-theme-name: http://vermaden.go.pl/tmp/xfce-theme.tar.gz icons dir: ~/.icons/Tango-Blue-Materia theme dir: ~/.themes/Luminance to end work with XFCE You can traditionally hit CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE or hit EXIT on XFCE panel. the END RESULT looks like that: Have Fun.
