Motivation: I came from i3, where I had a "status bar" at the bottom of the screen. I want that back, and I can use polybar for that. Since I have a 1920x1080 monitor, and I want icons for my frequently used apps on the left, vertically. Tint2 will do that. I use XFCE4 for two reasons: 1) it is one of the least memory hungry window managers/desktops environments, 2) it has a path toward Wayland, which I would like to switch to some day. I believe The XFCE panel will go vertical, but it doesn't work right. I just want a row of icons, period. But I can't figure out how to make that happen; I get huge spaces between the icons. If you know how that's done, let me know. Paul -- Paul M. Foster Personal Blog: http://noferblatz.com Company Site: http://quillandmouse.com Software Projects: https://gitlab.com/paulmfoster
