    I feel XFCE is under-rated. It has the reputation for being “dated”, but I find it pretty flexible.

      I added a little .css file " .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css" copied below. (there’s actually a couple approaches I took, the one I’m using here is not commented out).

      /* Two different approaches given below
         both valid but with slightly different
         behaviour
      */
      
      /* This first approach aggressively radiuses
         everything, even items within the panels
         themselves.
      */
      
      /*.xfce4-panel {
         border-bottom-left-radius: 16px;
         border-bottom-right-radius: 16px;
         border-top-left-radius: 16px;
         border-top-right-radius: 16px;
      } */
      
      /* This approach is not as aggresive as above.
         Will need to add some transparent seperators
         on either end for the radius to show.
         (16 px for full radius at my current settings)
      */
      
      .xfce4-panel#XfcePanelWindow {
         border-radius: 16px;
      }
      @import 'colors.css';

    Ah that’s great, I’m literally setting up my own XFCE today after a couple of adventures trying out other potential interfaces and ripping out all the traces of the original KDE Plasma that I had before on my Arch setup. That took quite a bit of work and now I have to re-theme everything, including SDDM!

    I am absolutely stealing a few things from your config, like the themes and icons.

      I should have mentioned, the background image is from the finale of Loki. In Norse mythology, it’s the Yggdrasil tree.
