How to resize panel launcher icons size

torrento · 2016-05-29 18:20:21

Hello, nice to meet you all, I'm new to xfce!
I have set my panel to be vertical and now I'm trying to find a way to decrease the size of the panel launcher icons:

How do you make them smaller without making changes to the row size?

I appreciate your help guys!

Welcome to the forums.

You would increase the horizontal and vertical padding between the edge of the button and border of the widget containing the button. Try something like this:

style "my-launchers"
{
    xthickness = 3
    ythickness = 3
}
widget "*launcher*" style "my-launchers"

...in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file. Adjust the values "3" to suit. You will need to change your Appearance theme away and back or log out and back in again for it to take effect.

Awesome, thank you for your response! I was able to create the file under ~/ and apply the changes. However, I am still left with the big whisker menu button plus the empty spaces between the launcher icons sad .

Is there a way to decrease the size of the whisker menu button and also cram the icons next to each other?

I really appreciate your insight!

Try adding this:

widget "*whiskermenu*" style "my-launchers"

...to the end of the previous snippet so that whiskermenu is affected by the same padding.
