Margin for xfce4-panel.

Any clue to add margins for xfce-panel? I already use "margin", "margin-top", etc in gtk.css but they don't work! I just want to make it "floating". Thanks.

I already tried :

.panel-1
{
/* margin: 4px; */
margin-top: 4px;
margin-bottom: 4px;
margin-right: 4px;
margin-left: 4px;
}

#XfcePanelWindow
{
/* margin: 4px; */
margin-top: 4px;
margin-bottom: 4px;
margin-right: 4px;
margin-left: 4px;
}

Re: Margin for xfce4-panel.

If you want to make the panel float (not connected to an edge of the desktop), in the panel properties, uncheck the "Lock Panel" option, drag and drop the panel (via the handles that appear at the sides of the panel) to the desired location, then check the "Lock Panel" option again.

It's not that kind of floating, I mean the bar will have margin for its 4 sides.

Re: Margin for xfce4-panel.

In more recent versions of xfce4-panel, there is a "Border width" setting in the Panel Properties. What version of xfce4-panel are you using?
