Question About Error XFCE PANEL RC

Hi,
I am a MX linux user, w/ XFCE DE,
Everytime I launch an mx app via bash command, I see this message,

/usr/share/themes/Greybird-dark-mx/gtk-2.0/apps/xfce-panel.rc:7: error: unexpected keyword 'bg', expected string constant

Someone could tell me why  ?
Given that the said file starts this way

style "theme-panel" = "dark"
{
    xthickness    = 1
    ythickness    = 1

    bg[NORMAL]    = #393F3F
    bg[ACTIVE]    = #393F3F    << SEEMS TO BE THE FAULTY LINE
    bg[PRELIGHT]    = shade (0.85, @selected_bg_color)
    bg[SELECTED]    = @selected_bg_color

    fg[NORMAL]    = shade (0.9, @base_color)
    fg[PRELIGHT]    = @base_color
    fg[ACTIVE]    = shade (0.9, @base_color)
    fg[SELECTED]    = shade (0.9, @base_color)

    text[NORMAL]    = shade (0.9, @base_color)
    text[PRELIGHT]    = @base_color
    text[ACTIVE]    = shade (0.9, @base_color)
    text[SELECTED]    = shade (0.9, @base_color)

    engine "murrine" {
        roundness    = 0
        glowstyle    = 0
        glazestyle    = 0
        textstyle    = 1
        text_shade    = 0.2
    }
}
[...]

Thanks

Hello and welcome.

That line looks good. What happens if you delete it? Does the error disappear?

Re: Question About Error XFCE PANEL RC

It says the same about L8.
I've tried to put double quotes around the HEX color on L6 (and then L7 after first check OK).
i.e.

bg[NORMAL]     = "#393F3F"
bg[ACTIVE]      = "#393F3F"

It fixes it.
Is it OK if I put double quotes ?
It seems so but I mean, according to the specs ?

Re: Question About Error XFCE PANEL RC

If double quotes work, then use double quotes. I don't recall the specifics on gtk2 tweaks.
