Xfce’s Apps Update for August 2022: Xfdashboard 1.0, WebP Support in Screenshooter
The big news this month is the release of Xfdashboard 1.0 as the first mature milestone of this utility that provides a GNOME shell dashboard-like interface for the Xfce desktop environment. The 1.0 release comes more than 10 years since the project was created!
So, as you can imagine, Xfdashboard 1.0 brings lots of goodies. These include its own settings for storing settings permanently (including for plugins), a new color class with support for solid colors (single colors), linear gradients, and path gradients, along with support for specifying colors in CSS, as well as a new “autopin-windows” plugin that automatically pins each window moved to any non-primary monitor.
