- I am in love with XFCE. Amazing desktop environment.

Workspace overview
Something like this ? I use skippy-xd which I bind to Super + Space and it gives me a live overview of all open windows regardless of what tab they're on.

Looking for tool to give overview of all workspaces
I use skippy-xd which shows all of my active windows as a popup and just keybind it to Super + Space.

Okay. I will not say, that it's the last update, this time. But this will stay for long time. I just saw some Pop_Os photo, on the internet and remembered, how much I like the layout and colors, so I replicated it, as close as I could. It's simple, nice and functional.
Btw. I am not trying to write my configuration by myself. I am trying to modify a config file, that I took from this site: https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/blob/master/skippy-xd.sample.rc

Panel - preview of opened programs
I used this https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd a couple of times. It works ok.
- Skippy-XD is buggy on Arch - clicking outside of any window should exit but instead it opens the window closest to to the mouse

Mission control style task switcher
There are two programs, each with its own issues. 1) skippy-xd 2) xfdashboard

Help with xdotool script
I use a tool called skippy-xd, which is a desktop/wm agnostic expose view in the same vain as gnome's window overview mode. The problem is, currently it cannot display windows that are minimized/unmapped. Imo this defeats the purpose of the tool.

Dock - is it worth it?
I also love the GNOME workflow and so wanted to create a similar thing in XFCE. I use two additions, the docklike-plugin and skippy-xd, both of which are probably in your package manager.
