Highlights of Xfce 4.16 include a refreshed look with new icons and color palette, support for fractional scaling in the Display dialog, improved search and filter capabilities for the Settings Manager, support for client-side decorations for all the Settings dialogs, as well as a revamped About Xfce dialog that now shows basic system information. The window manager received a performance boost too in Xfce 4.16, showing the Alt-Tab dialog only on the primary display and allowing users to zoom the cursor and keep minimized windows in the most recently used list.
