+ | ===== Feature Requests ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Although the philosophy of Xfce is to find the correct balance between features and lightweight, it is still possible to request new features. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you plan to request a new feature, please first check on our [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce|issue tracker]] if someone else already filed a request for it. If not, open a new issue and describe your idea in detail. Be warned: You might think your idea is brilliant, but there is a high possibility that there are major downsides. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Obviously, the best way to get your new feature integrated is, to provide a merge request that implements it ! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please note that some components are rather unmaintained, | ||
