Washed out taskbar icons

How can I disable that taskbar icons gets "washed out" when the windows are minimized? I tried to look in the source for the taskbar plugin but I didn't find anything remotely related to alpha or even icons. What part of xfce creates the taskbar buttons?

Search in libxfcegui4/netk-tasklist.c and comment this code:

if (minimized)
    {
        if (orig == pixbuf)
            pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_copy (orig);

        netk_dimm_icon (pixbuf);
    }

Edit: Works perfect.

You don't happen to know how I can enable resize by pulling the top border also?

Nope you can't, that is something build (or actually, itn't coded) in xfwm4.

About the dimmed icons: I didn't like this feature either. The dimmed icons are harder to distinguish, making navigation more difficult. If possible, please make it configurable without recompiling (I'm running Xubuntu). Otherwise great work, my girlfriends likes 4.4 as well

Hi!

I followed the tip but it did not work for me. Can someone, please, give me detailed instructions on how this is done or were there any changes in 4.6.1 that are the reason why I can't get this done?
