[SOLVED] Desktop Icons masked by panel

Hi,

Removable devices icons are displayed under the panel (transparent here) and masked by it. See picture :

Up to date Archlinux.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [SOLVED] Desktop Icons masked by panel

Hello, in the panel preferences window, see if you have "Don't reserve space on borders" option checked. It should be unchecked.

Re: [SOLVED] Desktop Icons masked by panel

It seems that intelligently means hide the panel when a window is maximized.
Set it to never.

Re: [SOLVED] Desktop Icons masked by panel

If set to never the icons are well placed but as soon as set to intelligently they are not. So, it's not a option because they should be well placed in intelligently mode too.

A bug ?

Re: [SOLVED] Desktop Icons masked by panel

The desktop icons are managed by gtk3 right ? Is there a way to control the icons spacing by the .css file like it was with the .gtkrc-2.0 which is now obsolete ?

class "XfcePanelWindow" style "xfce-panel-window-style"

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 0
XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels = 0
XfdesktopIconView::tooltip-size = 128
XfdesktopIconView::cell-spacing = 0
XfdesktopIconView::cell-padding = 10
XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 3.3
}

Re: [SOLVED] Desktop Icons masked by panel

If you are using xfdesktop 4.13 (the version in the repositories), it is based on GTK3. You would use something like this in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

XfdesktopIconView.view {
	-XfdesktopIconView-label-alpha:0;
	-XfdesktopIconView-selected-label-alpha:0;
	-XfdesktopIconView-ellipsize-icon-labels:0;
	-XfdesktopIconView-tooltip-size:128;
	-XfdesktopIconView-cell-spacing:0;
	-XfdesktopIconView-cell-padding:20;
	-XfdesktopIconView-cell-text-width-proportion:3.3;
}

Re: [SOLVED] Desktop Icons masked by panel

Thanks again ToZ, problem solved with -XfdesktopIconView-cell-padding:30;

Is there a way to get the icons with a different padding for x & y ? Because they are a bit to distant from the x with 30 but perfect for y.

Unfortunately, I can not find a way to get finer control.

Re: [SOLVED] Desktop Icons masked by panel

I'm not sure but I had the feeling that it has to do with the size of the cells but I don't remember how to control that.

Anyway, thanks for your help ToZ.
