xfce 4.16.4/manjaro/window button icon resizing?

Running current majaro, I'm having a difficult time finding the right handle to jiggle in /.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css to increase the size of window buttons. Is this a padding issue (the icons have room to grow both top and bottom) or is there an actual pixel number I can choose to make them larger? I'm running the buttons without labels, flat buttons, or handles

Thanks,
Jake

You may use the min-height and min-width properties on your widgets.

It's hard to tell without visual aid.

Thank you. In /.config/gtk3/gtk.css, I'm only seeing min-height for "whiskermenu-window entry" and no min-width anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong place?

The problem is that the Window Buttons plugin uses libwnck to get those icons and libwnck has a size limitation for the icons. It's discussed in greater detail here with some sizing options.

As an option, you can consider using xfce4-docklike-plugin or another dock like plank - that support larger icon sizes.

Thanks, ToZ. I'll look into that workaround and thanks for explaining the problem.
