Need some help with window title and panel.

Hi. I use XFCE-Dusk v4.12. How I can fix audio badge on the panel?

How to change the color of the window title?

I want something like this. One solid color as the panel color.

For the Window decoration: click Settings > Window Manager to pick a window theme you like, if the theme you selected in Appearance, Style tab doesn't give you what you want.

Re: Need some help with window title and panel.

The pulseaudio plugin is a GTK3-based plugin. Xfce-dusk is a GTK2-only theme. To get the best results, you should use a GTK3-compatible theme.

However, if you want to get it working with Xfce-dusk, place the following in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

.xfce4-panel.background {
  background-color: rgba(35, 35, 35, 0.8);
  color: #fcfcfc;
  font-weight: normal; }
  .xfce4-panel.background button {
    background-image: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    border-radius: 0;
    border-color: transparent;
    box-shadow: none;
    padding: 0 1px;
    color: #fcfcfc;
    text-shadow: 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); }
    .xfce4-panel.background button:active, .xfce4-panel.background button:checked {
      background-image: none;
      background-color: transparent;
      border-color: transparent;
      color: #fcfcfc;
      transition: none; }
    .xfce4-panel.background button:hover, .xfce4-panel.background button:active:hover, .xfce4-panel.background button:checked:hover {
      border-color: transparent;
      background-image: none;
      background-color: rgba(0, 50, 90, 1.0);
      color: #fcfcfc;
      box-shadow: none;
      transition: none; }
  .xfce4-panel.background entry {
    caret-color: #212121; }
  .xfce4-panel.background menu {
    -gtk-icon-effect: none;
    text-shadow: none; }

However, you may run into other theming issues, in which case, look at using a GTK3-compatible theme. By compatible, I mean one that supports the version of GTK3 running on your system.

Re: Need some help with window title and panel.

Greetings & Happy Holidays!

Just wanted to chime in and extend my GREATEST appreciation to this forum, and especially its moderator(s) -- i've learned here more in a few months than elsewhere in years

@nicexd ... You might take a look at 1000s of open-source themes & icon sets (most of them "free" of charge), nicely cataloged for download @ https://www.xfce-look.org/ Many of the themes also state what version of the particular Gtk-widget library they require. Over time, I've found some very nice themes myself, and learned a lot in the process.

Enjoy!

Cheers, m4a
