[SOLVED] xfce4 timer plugin too small

zebisnaga · 2025-02-12 17:29:27

Hi everyone,

I was googling on how to increase my xfce4 timer plugin since right now is like this https://i.imgur.com/f9I2VWW.png

I've followed this guide https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=17208 however even by changing the file /home/brun0/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and restarting the panel I was not able to visualize any modification.

Here is the specific file and the output - https://i.imgur.com/3DyFrDo.png

Can someone assist me on this?

Thanks!

Can you confirm the plugin id?

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep timer

Also make sure that the trough padding doesn't exceed the progress padding or else you won't see the progress bar.

Hi ToZ,

Confirmed that this is the xfc4-timer plugin - https://i.imgur.com/hMKM9K1.png

I pocked with some of the values but as you can see the value of progress is green but the output is still the default (blue)

Your plugin ID is 7, but in the css snippet you are using 2. Change:

#xfce4-timer-plugin-2

...to read:

#xfce4-timer-plugin-7

...in your gtk.css file.

Thank you that was the problem

However if I use

#xfce4-timer-plugin-7 progress { padding: 25px; }
#xfce4-timer-plugin-7 trough { padding: 15px; }

and start the timer the pluggin does not show to progress. i also tried to make trough higher than progress but that didn't worked either.
Is there any docs about this?

Documentation here.

Here is what I get with:

#xfce4-timer-plugin-14 progress { background-color: green }
#xfce4-timer-plugin-14 trough { background-color: white }
#xfce4-timer-plugin-14 progress {padding: 25px; }
#xfce4-timer-plugin-14 trough { padding: 15px; }

#xfce4-timer-plugin-14 trough { padding: 15px; }

I mean where's the documentation to modify more values such as the trough and the padding?

Thank you

https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/

Of particular interest would be:

Specific to the xfce4-timer plugin which uses Gtk's progressbar widget:

https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/class.ProgressBar.html

For me setting min-width/min-height works well:

#xfce4-timer-plugin-16 progressbar.vertical trough,
#xfce4-timer-plugin-16 progressbar.vertical progress {
  min-width: 8px;
  margin-left: 4px;
  margin-right: 4px;
}
#xfce4-timer-plugin-16 progressbar.horizontal trough,
#xfce4-timer-plugin-16 progressbar.horizontal progress {
  min-height: 8px;
  margin-top: 4px;
  margin-bottom: 4px;
}

Optionally you can add some margins.
