XFCE 14.2 vs 15.0
by rootaccess from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GVBE)
i love the xfce on slackware 14.2 but in 15.0 i hate it. even the font is changed in xfce4-terminal. it used to be a nice old-school looking sharp font with no hinting (or full hinting, whatever it actually is, it was wider and thinner) to this new-aged font you get with all the distros now. I know I could probably spend a lot of time "porting" over the 14.2 gui into 15.0 but I would really appreciate it if there could at least be an option to select the original 14.2 (and 14.1) style theme that a lot of us love.
i used 13.7 and 14.1 for a while when it came out but then went back to debian/centos because of work but now wanting to set it up as my main desktop again. i feel like i know slackware inside and out compared to systemd distros. as a server, i would no doubt use 15.0 because of the security and latest software but i feel like maybe i could just run 14.2 with old software and be fine with it. i've compiled openssl and openssh from source before on mint so if i have to do that on 14.2, i may so.
is anyone else running 14.2 because of the old XFCE theme? i'm in love with it.
