Hello there, I am aware of two ways to achieve this, which are not mentioned in this thread yet. Both of it is used in the Xubuntu-based distro Voyager which is also using XFCE as default DE. Whiskermenu: http://www.leaseweblabs.com/2014/04/new-xfce-features-xubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr/ Slingshot: http://www.noobslab.com/2014/06/slingscold-launcher-is-now-available.html Apart from that the usability team could also consider if they want to include a drop-down terminal like Tilda. A few XFCE linux distros also include a directory menu in the top panel by default, with the home user directory as base directory and * as file pattern to show all files and directories below the user folder. I think that's quite neat as well. Best, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
