Hello Cyrille,



and thanks for your reply. You=E2=80=99re perfectly right, that=E2=80=99s =
a good question.



We could keep the first welcome page for the distro, which is the rest of =
the pages dedicated to the features of the graphical environment, but it's =
rather a question for the developer/creator (Ajrat).

Mine was a simple mockup to explore content filling and try to give a grap=
hic direction



Regards,





Hello,

The mockup of this welcome screen seems to be good.

Quick question, I already have a welcome screen on my distro. Maybe some o=
ther distributions include such a welcome screen. How is it plan to integra=
te in such situation?

Here is a quick screenshot of it (with dark theme):



I wanted to point this to you for not developping something that distro mi=
ght disable to display their own welcome app=E2=80=A6

Regards,

Cyrille

Hello XFCE Developers,

I'd like to share my Work In Progress project - xfce4-welcome,
a customizable welcome application for XFCE desktop environment.

The code is available at: https://gitlab.xfce.org/rautyrauty/xfce4-welcome

It can be launched and debugged with VSCodium, and ...

Best regards,
Ajrat Makhmutov
