Re: [SOLVED] Xfce4 4.16 not follow gtk theme fully

I'm sitting in front of Xfce 4.14 right now so I can't test it, but I have seen this problem myself. I think what you need to do is to go to:
Panel Preferences > Appearance tab > look for a slider button named "Dark mode" and set it so it follows your current theme.

It's an easy fix, but a pretty jarring experience to have panel set to dark by default and not only the panel, but also the panel preferences switch to dark mode.

Light/Dark mode is another crazy thing inherited from smartphones because they can't do theming or apply different themes and icons to the panel like LXQt.
