Looks nice. Is it as fast as rox or xfe?

Nice. It seems to be a lot like rox without the few limitations I didn't like about it.

That looks a lot better.... XFCE is coming along nicely.

SO when is this going to get included? I've never seen it until this thread.

And maybe even one of the developers will take my suggestion about css-based theming and work it in this time...

Considering I've only talked with him a ton of times... and his girlfriend nearly lived with me when she worked for a big chip manufacturer near me. heh.

CSS based theming is freakin' awesome in applications-- just look at Firefox! It works so well, and so reliably in cross-platform situations, why WOULDN'T they use it?

Though I doubt Thunar has much demand on Windows or Mac boxes.

That sounds cool. If I could pick a new feature for XFCE it would be Project Utopia support. I would use XFCE more than half the time if it would load USB drives and CDs to my desktop like Gnome can.

i would never have left xfce, except for that fact that there was no network config tools (ended up using gnomes) and that the filemanger was not so great, if thunar gets in i might give it another go

I am so mad that the Hoary network config tool has been struck down. They removed the option to add new connections.
