The current version, 4.4, is modular and can be used again. It consists of separate components which together provide a full desktop functionality, but these components can also be selected in subsets to create a working environment tailored to the needs of users. Xfce is mainly used for its ability to run a modern desktop on a relatively simple hardware.
Xfce-based toolkit GTK + 2 (same as GNOME). It uses the window manager Xfwm, which are described below. Configuration is entirely driven by the mouse (the mouse), and configuration files are hidden from casual users.
Xfce initially similar to the commercial CDE, but with the development of each new version became increasingly different.
Xfce also provides an application development framework. In addition to Xfce itself, there are third party programs that use Xfce literature, speerti Mousepad text editor, audio player Xfmedia, and Orage Calendar and Terminal. One of the services provided by the framework to the application is a red banner at the top of the window when the application is running with root access as a warning to users that they can damage system files.
Xfce components include:
- Xfmedia, a xine based media player for Xfce
- Xfprint, manager of printing (print manager)
- Xfburn, program recording CD / DVD
