What is Xfce?

Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment specifically designed for UNIX-like systems, focusing on high speed and low resource consumption while also offering a visually appealing and user-friendly interface. In an effort to enhance the overall aesthetics and cohesion of Xfce, we have developed a fresh set of icons for our essential applications, all based on a consistent color scheme to ensure uniformity throughout the platform. Furthermore, we have adopted certain implicit design principles, taking cues from the elegant look of Adwaita. The Settings Manager has received an upgrade, featuring a newly redesigned filter box that users can now hide permanently, in addition to improved search capabilities that enable searches within the descriptive 'Comments' section of each dialog's .desktop launcher file. We have also merged the earlier 'Mime Settings' and 'Preferred Applications' dialogs into a single, streamlined interface, making it easier for users to set default applications for different file types. This integration not only enhances the user experience but also underscores Xfce's dedication to usability and efficiency. Overall, these improvements reflect our commitment to creating a more intuitive and cohesive environment for our users.

What is Parole?

Parole is a modern and user-friendly media player built on the GStreamer framework, specifically designed for optimal compatibility with the Xfce desktop environment. It facilitates playback of a wide range of media formats, including local files, DVDs/CDs, and live streams. Additionally, Parole's functionality can be expanded through its plugin system, with comprehensive instructions found in the Plugins API documentation alongside practical examples in the plugins directory. Prioritizing ease of use, performance, and minimal resource consumption, Parole enables users to enjoy their local media files, offering subtitle support for videos and compatibility with audio CDs, DVDs, and live broadcasts. The application is completely free to use, distribute, and modify under the GNU General Public License. Essential for its core functions are the GStreamer Base plugins, while the GStreamer Good plugins provide a selection of high-quality enhancements available under the LGPL license, further augmenting Parole's features. With its combination of versatility and efficiency, Parole stands out as an excellent option for users in search of a lightweight media player solution. Moreover, its continuous development and community support ensure that users can expect ongoing improvements and new features over time.
