+===== Appearance Updates =====
+==== elementary-xfce 0.21 ====
+elementary-xfce is now a fully [[https://github.com/shimmerproject/elementary-xfce/releases/tag/v0.20.1|GPLv3 licensed]] icon theme. The [[https://github.com/shimmerproject/elementary-xfce/releases/tag/v0.21|latest release]] introduces a new "HiDPI" version of the theme that works better with 2x and 3x window scaling on high resolution displays. It also consolidates the former "dark" theme into one that works well for light, dark, and mixed desktop themes.
