1. A New App Finder

Xfce 4.10's application finder has been completely rewritten, the software's developers note, resulting in a new version that "combines the functionality of the old xfce4-appfinder and xfrun4." The new app finder also now allows for the creation of custom actions matching a prefix or a regular expression pattern.

2. Deskbar Mode

Also new in Xfce 4.10 are a "deskbar" mode and several other tweaks to its panel, including a single panel-wide option for configuring the number of rows in the panel.

In the new deskbar mode configuration, the panel is aligned vertically just as it is in vertical mode, but plug-ins are laid out horizontally. The result is that with multiple rows, you can create wide vertical panels suitable for wide-screen monitors.
