XFCE panel colour problems when changing theme

Post by samatunga »

Hi all!

As this is my first post I hope it is in the right topic section :D

I installed Linux Mint XFCE 17.2 recently and changed the theme. It worked just fine but some icons in the panel still have the colour of the old panel.

I tried changing many different themes but the problem still remains.
I searched the web and there were different solutions I tried with no success like this:

Let try this :
Save this image in your home folder : http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6641/p … nhover.png
It's a transparent 48x24px Png file. Name it panel-button-hover.png

Put this on your ~/.gtkrc-2.0

style "mypanel"
{
engine "pixmap"
{
image
{
function = BOX
recolorable = TRUE
state = PRELIGHT
file = "panel-button-hover.png"
border = { 1, 1, 0, 0 }
stretch = TRUE
}
}
}

widget "*Xfce*Panel*" style "mypanel"
class "*Xfce*Panel*" style "mypanel"
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "mypanel"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "mypanel"
widget "*fast-user-switch*" style "mypanel"
widget "*CPUFreq*Applet*" style "mypanel"
widget "*indicator-applet*" style "mypanel"
class "PanelApp*" style "mypanel"
class "PanelToplevel*" style "mypanel"
widget_class "*PanelToplevel*" style "mypanel"
widget_class "*notif*" style "mypanel"
widget_class "*Notif*" style "mypanel"
widget_class "*Tray*" style "mypanel"
widget_class "*tray*" style "mypanel"
widget_class "*computertemp*" style "mypanel"
widget_class "*Applet*Tomboy*" style "mypanel"
widget_class "*Applet*Netstatus*" style "mypanel"

Re-log or change your Appearance theme to a temporary theme and switch back to your original theme.
Cross your finger and move your mouse over the launcher ...


I can't figure out a way and would be grateful for any suggestions :wink:

It's not the panel that is the problem, it's the Notification Applet that is the cause. I've not heard any word of a fix for this bug yet. :(
