Remove Panel "Window Button" Icons

While it's possible to easily hide button labels, I'd like to remove the icons and just leave the text. What's the easiest way of going about doing this?

As per http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/t … properties, try changing the minimized-icon-luency value to 0 (place code in ~/.gtkrc-2.0). Doing this removed the icons in the windows buttons plugin on my system (Xfce 4.10).

Bit of a necro post.

I followed the instructions provided by the link to create the gtk.css file and it worked. No more icons on the window buttons.

However, the icon space and padding between the icon and text is lost so the text is up against the left side of the button. Is there a setting to create some padding for the text, or center align text on the window button?

You could use:

.tasklist label {padding-left: 10px}

...adjust the '10' to suit.
