Re: [solved] Change color of panel separator

The separator doesn't have a style class defined, so you'll need to first get the widget ID. To get this, go to Panel Preferences > Items tab and hover over the separator. It will be something like "separator-16". So:

#separator-16 { color: red }

...should do the trick.

Only one last thing on this. I see the repository for the Panel plugins here https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins?page=1 but there is not the separator in there.
Where is it ?
EDIT sorry I find it https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-pane … /separator

Yes, the separator is considered an "internal plugin" and is packaged with xfce4-panel.

Re: [solved] Change color of panel separator

perhaps the separator is not really plugging in like plugins normally do but is internally just an exception to how the panel positions plugins.  maybe you use this as an opportunity to learn how to make your own plugins by making one that does nothing but color itself and set its width.  or you could make one that puts text or an image in there.  that's something a separator cannot do.

if it is told what file to show, that file could be text or an image.
