Add the elementary daily ppa and install gala + plank + dconf-tools | |
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily | |
sudo apt-get update $$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
sudo apt-get install gala plank dconf-tools gtk2-engines-pixbuf | |
Set gala as xfce's default window manager | |
cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml | |
nano ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml | |
replace "xfwm4" with "gala" | |
Put min/max/close buttons on the right | |
open dconf-editor: | |
org pantheon desktop gala appearance | |
button-layout: :minimize,maximize,close | |
other stuff: | |
org gnome application interface | |
change the fonts | |
gtk-theme | |
org gnome application wm preferences | |
theme and font too | |
Additional tips: | |
Do "sudo apt remove xfce4-notifyd" if you want to use gala notification manager. | |
You have to configure some parts of gala separately from xfce4 (wallpaper, cursor, workspaces count, etc.) Do "sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool" and run gnome-tweak-tool. | |
Disable dynamic workspaces. It's annoying. http://i.imgur.com/ffR2AoA.png | |
Good luck! |
