Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

For the first one, what are you missing? You may not have it installed.

For the font size goto settings>appearance>fonts. This will change all fonts. Depending what version of xfce you are using you may be able to be more specific.

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

I am posting an image of mine but as I said, if your missing something you likely have to install it. My eyes don't see that pic very well. I'm trying to figure out what you don't have but would need to translate but again very hard to read that for me. Turkish?

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

I agree, but a look at some posts in a Kali blog shows "Window Manager Tweaks" and other items in the Xfce Settings Manager (which are missing in OP's install). Maybe we can help...

Azamet, you can do a little trick to get screenshots in english; just put LC_ALL=C before the command, like in this example:

LC_ALL=C xfce4-settings-manager

The changes will be only for that command, so you don't have to change your settings, would you send the screenshot again, in english?

Also, let's see what Xfce packages you have installed:

LC_ALL=C apt list xf* --installed

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

I think Window Manager Tweaks is part of Xfwm4. Maybe Kali left it out of their build?

In a terminal try:

xfwm4-tweaks-settings

This should just bring up that particular section of the settings. You should also have /usr/share/applications/xfce-wmtweaks-settings.desktop.

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

The .desktop file is what shows up in the settings manager. Do you have it? It could be an issue of it being installed in the wrong place by Kali or omitting it in their build. Please confirm it's there.

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

Yeah, something in the .desktop file sounds plausible. This is from my system:

$ cat /usr/share/applications/xfce-wmtweaks-settings.desktop | grep -i categories
Categories=XFCE;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;X-XFCE-SettingsDialog;X-XFCE-PersonalSettings;

Azamet, do you have a similar .desktop file, specially the "Categories" part?

sorry for late reply:

cat /usr/share/applications/xfce-wmtweaks-settings.desktop | grep -i categories
Categories=XFCE;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;X-XFCE-SettingsDialog;X-XFCE-PersonalSettings;

i also have same output on giving that command

for example i dont have any settings to change this:

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

I've found this interesting post, xfce4-settings-manager don't show many configuration programs.

Take a look. It's on a Xubuntu system but the main point still stands: look for instances of xfce-settings-manager.menu in your system and check the details and differences.

$ locate xfce-settings-manager.menu

$ locate xfce-settings-manager.menu

on that site you send me is:

    System-wide dir: /usr/share/applications
    User dir: ~/.local/share/applications

but on me that file is located at:
/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-settings-manager.menu

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

The Whiskermenu can be edited if you right click on it's panel icon and select properties.

Following alcornoqui's suggestion I only find one instance of "xfce-settings-manager.menu" (/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-settings-manager.menu). If kali uses a custom file it might be kept in the users /home. This file would take priority over any other system file. Just a thought.

Yes you do. Its the one labelled "pencere yoneticisi ince ayarian". Google translate tells me that's Turkish meaning "Window Manager Fine Settings". That's Window Manager Tweaks.

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

Damm ToZ!

Damm azamet!!!

It's true! In usr/share/applications/xfce-wmtweaks-settings.desktop:

Name[tr]=Pencere Yöneticisi İnce Ayarları

So it shows alright! Can you confirm it works azamet?

Re: i have 2 problems on xfce4 :(

Yes, Damn ToZ! Lost in translation I guess. I thought something was weird there since he had the .desktop file for it to show up. I'm still not clear what he is talking about in the Whiskermenu though.
