[Solved] XFCE4-popup-directorymenu .css overrides

mint4all · 2025-09-11 23:14:27

Greetings to all!

I am using this plugin/popup extensively to keep my WIP-files (work-in-proress) somewhat organized. However, my old eyes have trouble with the plugin's use of 16px-by-16px mime-icons, even though my icon set is fully populated with 16, 16s, 22, 24, 32, 48 and 96px icons. What .css overrides would I require to bump the plugin's use of 16px icons to, say, 22/24/32px? ANd while we're at this, is there any way to change the default (system?) font (face & size & color), as well? PS: I am on Mint 21.3

Thank you for your help.
Cheers, m4a

This plugin uses the popup widget and unfortunately, this is treated differently by Gtk. There doesn't appear to be a way to affect it on a per-widget basis - which means, that any changes you make to ".popup" will affect popups desktop-wide. Which may or may not be what you want. But to answer your questions:

For images:

.popup image {-gtk-icon-transform: scale(2); padding: 10px;}

For text (labels):

.popup label {font-family: Monospace; font-size: 24pt; color: red}

Thank you so much, ToZ ... I tried your suggestions, and they worked exactly like you pointed out -- ALL of the menu-like structures (launchers etc.) were re-themed as well. Alas, that results in an indesirable mess of overflowing multi-launcher menus. It does prove, however, that when compared to the launcher menus, the directrymenu popup downscales the mime-icons. That's an inconsistency worth fixing ...

Cheers, m4a
