Hello,
Personally, I use XFCE4, but I add dolphin, because for my use, I prefer it to thunar:
sudo pacman -S ark dolphin kdegraphics-thumbnailers kimageformats oxygen-icons qt5-imageformats
****
Settings to make if you prefer a clear style (Adwaita) :
If after installing Artix XFCE with Adwaita theme, the background of Dolphin, Gimp or some configuration windows is black, just uninstall some packages:
sudo pacman -R artix-dark-theme artix-desktop-presets artix-gtk-presets artix-icons artix-qt-presets
****
If on Dolphin, which I'm adding to XFCE4, the icon background is black instead of light gray, with black text :-/
As a workaround, edit ~/.config/kdeglobals and edit edit:
[Colors:View]
BackgroundNormal=220,220,220
mousepad ~/.config/kdeglobals
cat /etc/environment
#QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk2
#QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk
