Re: [SOLVED] Window Menu Plugin arrow icon too small

I don't have a Mint install to test this and I didn't think it was possible anymore (since gtk-menu-icons stopped working) but I think I stumbled on an alternative.

Assuming that you are using the Mint-Y-Dark theme, create a ~/trans.png file that is 1x1 in size and fully transparent. Then place this snippet in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

style "my-windowmenu"
{
	engine "pixmap"
        {
		image
                {
                        function                = BOX
                        recolorable             = TRUE
                        state                   = NORMAL
                        file                    = "trans.png"
                        border                  = { 1, 1, 0, 0 }
                        stretch                 = TRUE
                }
        }	
}
widget "*windowmenu*" style "my-windowmenu"

Restart the panel to test.

Your suggestion works fine.
I realized that was depending on gtk theme Mint-Y used in the VM, in the real computer with the older version of Linux Mint 18 I setted up Arc-Darker as gtk theme.
Thanks a lot ToZ!
