xfce need gtk-doc present int Centos-PowerTools repository
this repo is desactived by default
to enabled it
edit /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-PowerTools.repo
replace enable=0 par enable=1
install al the rpm present un the repository
reboot the pc en select xfce enjoy
this week a create a group.xml so you can perform a install with groupinstall xfce
Thank you so much for this! Gnome 3 is pants. I've used KDE for my workstations with CentOS 7 as it's easy to make it work like Windows enough that people don't mind it. XFCE is at least as configurable, so this helps with that problem quite a bit! Already running it as my desktop
I'd still love for someone to port over the Fedora KDE packages, though!

At the risk of just saying 'me too' - I find gnome3 almost unusable. I am using Mate where gnome3 is the default offering.

For those preferring window environments, openbox now seems available for CentOS-8. For dwm fans, dwm can usually be built fairly easily
See my page
http://srobb.net/dwm.html which has a link to much more detailed page, which, while for Debian, should be good.f

XFCE please!
It's lightweight, very useful, lot's of options to configure everything to your taste, and beautiful if you install Mate's themes!
So, please make a CentOS version with XFCE.
backup your computer and phone - full, incremental - home, other location
