Xfce - heldersrvio/PureDarwin GitHub Wiki
"Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for various *NIX systems. Designed for productivity, it loads and executes applications fast, while conserving system resources." - Olivier Fourdan, creator of Xfce
The screenshot above shows Xfce compiled on a PureDarwin 9 system from MacPorts, using xfce4_axiom_theme and a background from psdgraphics.com.
Xfce can be launched so that it can be accessed by VNC clients.
Note: currently this appears to work only as the root user, needs to be investigated.

Thanks Anders F Björklund for his continuing support and bugfixes of Xfce in MacPorts.
The goal of this project is to make Darwin more usable by providing an installation ISO, documentation, and add-on software. You are welcome to join #puredarwin on irc.freenode.net or the Gitter chat if you would like to join PureDarwin development and to add to this site.
The Wiki pages were recently moved from Google Sites and in the conversion process some formatting was lost. Please help fixing the markdown of this page by editing it. But please delete nothing, especially not (broken) images; fix them instead (see the main page of the Wiki for an example).
