Without Gnome Control Center you can't have access to the Online Accounts. There is a way to hide gnome-control-center and just be able to see Online Accounts. -Gio On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 8:21 PM, fred roller wrote: Gnome Control Panel is just a menu set... what program is being called an

Gnome Control Panel is just a menu set... what program is being called and is it install-able on Xubuntu. If it is, should be a matter of setting up the menu item in Settings and All Setting I would think. On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 1:18 PM, caligaris wrote: > I also think designing an app to have

I also think designing an app to have access to cloud services for XFCE would be ideal, but seen how slow XFCE devs work and every Xubuntu release tends to be the same I don't think is a realistic scenario. That's why I believe Gnome Control Center is the best option and avoids re-inventing the

I am all for the cloud integration into Xubuntu but installing Gnome Control center is not the way, I don't think that would solve this. I believe it would be up to the devs of Xfce they could design an app much like gnome online accounts and integrate it into the desktop environment. This is a goo

I think you guys are getting a bit off topic. The main reason to use Gnome Control Center is to have easy access to Cloud Services. We are moving more towards the cloud and I find a lot of distros are trying to offer support to these services. For the ones that have been talking about Gnome a

So . . . it's not "entirely" true but sounds like it is "mostly" true. So, "mostly" I don't want apps on my system that don't adhere to my chosen display configuration - and I don't want to have to muck around to get them to use it either. It's a nuisance and brea

I agree that the convenience of the adding access to the cloud services would be nice. Wouldn't a better request be to add the cloud services to the current xfce settings manager. This would avoid the gnome dependencies and keep the OS clean. Currently I use: http://www.techrepublic.com/articl

Hello I would like to make a request for the next versions of Xubuntu. I believe we should have Gnome Control Center installed by default. It gives us access to many cloud service with a simple click. Specially for those who depend on Google Drive. I made a video on how to install it on Xubu
