How to take over Endeavour XFCE Session settings for a new user

Desktop Environments XFCE
1

Hi, just created a new user and noticed that the XFCE session does not have the same settings as the “original user”. For the new user I see a quite classic (debian like) settings with a top panel, no whisker start menu and so on.

What should be done to get the “endeavour” settings on XFCE for new users?

Thanks!

For getting EnOS’ Xfce4 theming, please see:

That should happen automatically. Did you remove the settings package?

i created the user in terminal. I did not remove any package. But to be more specific: which settings package? I could check if I have it.

Btw, I have managed a workaround where I have copied the settings from the “original” user. As the system was quite fresh all was ok :slight_smile:

endeavouros/endeavouros-skel-xfce4 3.4-1 (35.3 KiB 47.3 KiB) 
    pre user creation skel setup for xfce4 under EndeavourOS
endeavouros/endeavouros-skel-default 1.9-1 (17.4 KiB 11.0 KiB) [EndeavourOS] (Installiert)
    pre user creation skel setup for GTK and xfce4-terminal under EndeavourOS

endeavouros-skel-xfce4 is what we use to create skel folder settings…
check if it is installed: yay -Qs endeavouros-skel-xfce4

if you use something like sudo useradd -m -G wheel -s /bin/bash username it would use these when installed (reading from /etc/skel)

But it will not change user setting for users already created if you would go install the package now…
