[SOLVED] A really working way to resize the icon of pulseaudio panel?

D.dave · 2025-02-07 10:13:08

I'm looking for a way to resize the icon of pulseaudio plugin on the panel.

I got it with the command xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins -lv
What I attempted in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

#pulseaudio-button {padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;}

does nothing

#launcher-14* /* Pulse */
{
    -gtk-icon-transform: scale(0.25);
    padding: 0 0px;
}

does nothing

#launcher-14*, #pulseaudio-button /* Pulse */
{
    -gtk-icon-transform: scale(0.65);
    padding: 0 0px;
}

does nothing

The only thing that work/is applied, is chaging the icon theme, eg like
-gtk-icon-theme: 'breeze-dark';

But this theme, like papirus, make it worse: more bigger icon.

What to do?

Ok, I got the solution from this forum, in this topic:
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=52543#p52543

What I did to suite my preference:

#pulseaudio-button * { -gtk-icon-transform: scale(0.90); }

To summarize: I just missing to add " * "

That will also scale the images in the popup. If you just want to affect the icon, try:

#pulseaudio-button>box>image {-gtk-icon-transform: scale(0.09);}

Note: "-gtk-icon-transform" only has an affect on an "image" widget.
