Re: Change color of panel tabs

Hello and welcome.

If you just want to change colours, use an ~/.gtkrc-2.0 snippet like this:

style "my-window-buttons"
{
	bg[ACTIVE]	= "#ff0000"
	bg[PRELIGHT]	= "#00ff00"
	bg[SELECTED]	= "#0000ff"

	fg[NORMAL]	= "#ffff00"
	fg[ACTIVE]	= "#00ff00"
	fg[PRELIGHT]	= "#0000ff"
}
widget "*XfceTasklist*"			style "my-window-buttons"

...and change the colour values to match what you want.

If you are looking at making them transparent, then have a read through this thread. The answer lies in putting the "panel-button-hover.png" file in your home directory and the contents of post #18 in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file.
