Xfce 是目前最好的桌面环境之一。它因其简单性而受欢迎，是一个轻量级的选择。


不像其他桌面环境，你不会看到 Xfce 定期的添加功能。所以，等待升级总是令人兴奋的。


Xfce 4.18 是最新的版本，它增加了一些有用的功能和其他技术改进。让我重点介绍一下。


### Xfce 4.18 的新变化

虽然这不是一个完整的变化列表，但其中一些比较明显的变化包括：


* 文件管理器的改进。
* 桌面和面板的变化。
* 更多的设置。
* 新的壁纸。


#### 文件管理器的改进

Xfce 的默认文件管理器 Thunar 在这个版本中得到了相当多的改变。作为许多 Linux 用户的最爱，Thunar 有一个干净直观的用户界面，使其对不同技能水平的人都很简单易用。


在这个版本中，这个有用的工具获得了几个新功能。比如说：


* 工具条上新的搜索图标使用户能够快速搜索文件和文件夹。
* 你现在可以添加一个分割视图。
* 启用独立的图像预览。


还有一个有趣的新增功能，可以帮助你**高亮文件**，以便快速发现它们。你可以设置一个前景和背景颜色，如果你不想要这个功能，也可以重置。


![xfce 4.18 文件高亮](/data/attachment/album/202212/17/000606twggcdk29e898g8t.jpg)


你可以从文件的属性选项中访问这个功能。


Thunar 文件管理器还增加了一些其他功能，包括：


* 一个用于定制键盘快捷键的新标签。
* 新的书签菜单。


#### 精致的设置和桌面变化


Xfce 桌面的大部分都保持不变。你不应该期待开箱后有不同的用户体验。


虽然没有重大的视觉改造，但有细微的完善和功能改进。


例如，你可以发现日历小部件的新能力。显示设置提供了更多选项，即使你没有连接多个显示器。


Xfce 面板也有一些变化。


![Xfce 4.18 面板设置](/data/attachment/album/202212/17/000606uys695e3yx2289dz.jpg)


这些变化包括用像素而不是百分比来调整高度，以及一个新的 “保持面板在窗口上方” 选项。这使得窗口可以在面板下面延伸，而不是在顶部被切断。


更不用说，时钟小程序现在可以自定义其字体类、字体大小和布局。

这些是计划添加到背景集的其它候选作品。


#### 其他变化


除了之前提到的那些，这个版本还引入了一些其他变化。


* 初步的 Wayland 支持，它允许 Xfce 在 Wayland 显示服务器上运行。
* GTK4 的更新，提供了更好的性能和稳定性。
* 一些核心应用程序的小更新，包括对 Xfdesktop、Xfwm4 和 Xfce4-panel 应用程序的改进。

### 获得 Xfce 4.18


你可以通过软件库为滚动发布的发行版（如 Arch Linux）安装它。对于其他发行版，如果你不想自己做实验，你可能必须等待官方的更新。


要想快速尝试，你可以安装 Xubuntu 23.04 日常构建版来获得这些功能。


如果你使用的是其他为了稳定起见而不提供快速桌面环境更新的 Linux 发行版，如果你知道自己在做什么，你可以尝试手动安装。

Xfce is one of the best desktop environments out there. It is popular for its simplicity and is a lightweight option.

Unlike other desktop environments, you do not see regular feature additions to Xfce. So, it is always exciting to wait for an upgrade.

Xfce 4.18 is the latest release with some useful feature additions and other technical improvements. Let me highlight the same.

### Refined Settings and Desktop Changes

Xfce desktop remains much of the same. You should not expect a different user experience out of the box.

There are no major visual overhauls but subtle refinements and feature improvements.

For instance, you can find new abilities with the calendar widget. Display settings offer more options even if you do not have multiple displays connected.

XFCE panel got some changes as well.

![xfce 4.18 panel settings](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/12/xfce-4-18-panel.jpg)

These include adjusting the height in terms of pixels instead of percentages and a new "**keep panel above windows**" option. This allows windows to extend underneath the panel instead of being cut off at the top.

Not to mention, the clock applet can now have its font family, font size, and layout customized.

### New Wallpapers

Of course, we also get some new wallpapers; you've already seen the new default at the beginning of this article.

**Initial Wayland support, which allows Xfce to run on the Wayland display server.****GTK4 updates, which provide improved performance and stability.****A few minor updates to some core apps, including improvements to the Xfdesktop, Xfwm4, and Xfce4-panel applications.**

## Getting XFCE 4.18

You can install it for rolling-release distributions like Arch Linux through the repositories. For other distributions, you may have to wait for an official update if you do not want to experiment with things yourself.

For a quick try, you can install Xubuntu 23.04 daily builds to get your hands on the features.

If you are using any other Linux distributions that do not provide quick desktop environment updates for stability purposes, you can try installing it manually if you know what you are doing.

## Final Thoughts

Xfce 4.18 is a significant update to the Xfce desktop environment, with many new features and improvements.

The updates to the Thunar file manager are particularly noteworthy, as they provide users with more control and customization options. The initial Wayland support and GTK4 updates will improve performance and stability.

Overall, Xfce 4.18 is a welcome update that will improve the user experience for Xfce users.
