Hi, I have just committed XFCE 414 to the ports tree, so it will be included in the next quarterly. This new XFCE version has all core parts updated to use GTK3. Due to this x11-themes/gtk-xfce-engine is not up to the task anymore, since it only supports GTK 2. XFCE 4.14 from the ports tree installs unthemed, but by default it depends on greybird, which can be manually enabled in the configuration. Also a few other themes are available in the ports tree. Same goes for icon themes. Another big change regards the Display Manager. the xfce meta port used to depend on slim. This has changed and now xfce depends on lightdm by default. I'd personally suggest all users to perform the switch, since slim has not been developed for some time, while lightdm is a modern display manager. Please report if you encounter any problem with this update! -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org>
