[Solved] Problem XFCE Panel with theme GTK

pepib · 2014-06-15 09:50:14

Hi I have installed the simpliX theme in Arch Linux through the package on Aur: xfce-theme-simplix. The theme if full applied except for xfce4-panel that is not full dark, the notification area is very bad, the all application are in gtk (wicd-gtk and volumeicon-gtk). I have installed all packages recommended on the forum: gtk-engines pixbuf murrine but the background color in the notification area is always white. It's the same for some plugin like xfce4-power-manager and action buttons. Can you help me?

See this thread for a workaround to remove the white highlighting from the back of the notification tray icons (follow the thread to the end to get the full hack). It involves a gtkrc-2.0 hack and the presence of a panel-button-hover transparent image. As a first guess, you might try this to see if it fixes the issue for you.

just in case that someone finds this via google etc.

...keep in mind that the gtk2 theme has a settings file...

# choose your panel theme (you can only use one!)
# the first one can be used on any edge and requires to set the panel color to #292929
# the other one can only be used at the bottom at 100% and with panelbg-bottom.gif as panelbg image
# comment both for white
