Re: Color in xfce4-panel

Hello and welcome.

Can you identify the plugins (with ones with the wrong background colour) that are being used? Form left to right:
- ?
- ?
- ?
- pulseaudio-plugin
- xfce4-power-manager-plugin

I'll load that theme and have a closer look.

Re: Color in xfce4-panel

The default GTK3 adwaita theme was "tweaked" in GTK 3.24.5 - the background colour become lighter (which you see on the GTK3-based plugins). You have two choices here:

1. To use the newer lighter Adwaita colour on the panel, right-click the panel, go to the Appearance page, change the "Style" to "Solid Color" and use the colour "F6F5F4"

2. To use the older colour (on the GTK3 plugins on the panel), create/edit the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and add the following content:

.xfce4-panel.background { background-color: rgba(232,232,231,0.0); }

...save the file and restart the panel.

I wonder if xfce4-panel hard-codes this grey colour. I'll have a look.

Re: Color in xfce4-panel

Both the solutions work fine. For the time being, I'm editing gtk.css

Thank you very much for the help smile

It was a great first experience!
