This seems like a ton of work and a great achievement. XFCE, for whatever reason, is always my go to desktop environment and really just "feels like home". Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Will this make it into the upcoming Debian Bullseye release?

Oh no, those icons. Shadows and depth without perspective looks really awkward. Lots of the icons blend into the background because of low contrast and lack of border or drop shadow. I really liked the tango icons.

Agreed. I didn't know what was wrong with them at a first glance but now I see it.

They look more like the icons from a phone from 2004, like a Motorola or Symbian OS.

Still love XFCE.

At least they're easily distinguishable by both shape and color.

Curious here. Advantages of XFCE over KDE or Gnome. I use KDE. I need to know from a regular user. VM is not enough.

Lighter, simpler.
