Missing menu entries for settings after upgrading to Manjaro Qonos

@Tech11

some of my settings are here, some are not.

So missing Menu entries to configuration settings, rather than missing settings.
This is not necessarily abnormal:

• packages providing configuration settings might have been removed if now unnecessary
• configuration settings might have been exfiltrated to new packages, not automatically installed if unnecessary
• configuration settings might have been fused into others
• its menu entry might have been moved to another category
• and so on…

@Tech11

Usually when i right click on my desktop, theres a menu and in that menu there are my display, appearance customization etc…
now when i right click, i can no longer see them.
Also, i cannot see where i can change my keyboard shortcuts. i cannot find those settings.

It seems you indeed lack the usual Xfce settings entries. Do you have xfce4-settings installed?

@Tech11

may i know what new settings are there?

@maycne.sonahoz

How can i get those new features on an existing system?

All of these are among the packages available in the repositories; they are just a package installation or configuration reset away.
Because the user must stay in control of their system, these new defaults and packages are not installed during a system update, as not to overwrite the user’s customized configuration.

New defaults and packages are usually listed in the release announcement , so users seeking the fresher experience can individually apply them:

• new packages can simply be installed as usual
• new defaults can be applied by replacing the user configuration file (in ~ or /home/) by the associated one from /etc/skel

Tip: You may find the folder /etc/skel empty, but the default configuration files you seek are actually there, only hidden. You may need to set your file manager to show hidden files to see them:

• Ctrl+H in GTK : Nautilus (GNOME), Thunar (Xfce) …
• Alt+. in Qt : Dolphin (KDE) …
