Introduction

This repository is dominated by how to customize the xfce desktop, especially the panels which can be much more flexible, but are not included in the default panel settings.

How to customize xfce panel ?

By default, to customize the xfce panel you only need to right click on the panel, then select Panel Preferences.
However, if you want to customize the xfce panel freely, you can create a gtk.css file in the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ folder.

Note

gtk.css file are like exterior paint. You need to arrange the items on your panels with the default panel settings, then gtk.css will color it.

sudo nano ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

And copy this gtk.css file on your own.

Or you can clone this repository, with :

cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/diws1/xfce-rice

Then go to xfce-rice directory, and copy the gtk.css file on your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ folder.

cd xfce-rice/
cd .config/gtk-3.0/
sudo cp -r gtk.css ~/.config/gtk-3.0/

To see your modifications applied, you can reset the xfce4-panel process by typing the following command into a terminal :

xfce4-panel -r

Important

Some items on the panel may not change immediately. You need to read the instructions I wrote on each gtk.css theme in this repository, for example :
