Detailed list of changes
In 4.10, it was decided to move the documentation from local packages to the Internet.
Application Finder is completely rewritten and contains the functionality of the old appfinder and xfrun4.
In 4.10, the option to manage rows of elements on the panel is added.
In this mode, the panel is positioned vertically, as in the usual vertical mode, but the elements remain horizontal. This allows you to conveniently customize the panel for widescreen monitors.
There was a button to erase information about the saved session (you no longer have to perform rm -r ~ / .config / sessions). Xfce4-tips has been removed and the session manager can now block the screen before entering standby or hibernation.
It is also possible to customize the autorun application - as it is implemented in GNOME or KDE. Non-Xfce programs are in italics.
Now xfsettingsd is responsible for the settings.
Dialogs of settings scattered in groups, search added.
Now you can set default programs for certain file types. Note that the new editor does not allow adding or deleting known file types or changing their icons.
The new configuration dialog allows you to change the basic parameters of the Synaptics and Wacom devices.
At 4.10, you can drag the archive with the theme or icons directly into the settings dialog. Xfce will try to extract the files and copy them to ~ / .themes or ~ / .icons.
Now you can open files and applications from the desktop with one click and view thumbnails of images. Added automatic wallpaper change.
