I'm using xfce4-panel 4.11.0 in Xubuntu 14.04 64-bit. There is a README in the source code at xfce4-panel-4.11.0/docs/README.gtkrc-2.0 which you can read at https://github.com/EasternHeart/heartlenv-panel/blob/master/docs/README.gtkrc-2.0 - it explains how to theme various aspects of the panel. I initially filed a bug report concerning only one of them, XfceApplicationsMenuPlugin, but after further testing, NONE of those which declare a perimeter in gtk-icon-sizes work: XfceApplicationsMenuPlugin XfceDirectoryMenuPlugin XfceWindowMenuPlugin XfceLauncherPlugin XfceTasklist XfceActionsPlugin For example, placing the following in to $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 results in no changes. gtk-icon-sizes="panel-tasklist-menu=64,64" style "xfce-tasklist-style" { XfceTasklist::max-button-size = 64 } class "XfceTasklist" style "xfce-tasklist-style" I am sure that $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 *is* being read because other parts of the file have effect. So this means that it is not possible to increase any panel menu icons sizes above the tiny 16 pixel size. This effectivle blocks many visually impaired people from using Xfce. As I am trying to build a distro based on Xfce, I'd be very, very appreciative of a fix.
Hi, Seems like this bug hasn't been fixed yet. I am especially trying to fix it to fix panel-tasklist-menu icons size. I am also kind of surprised that it hasn't been fixed yet, because I found quite old ressources about this bug on various forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2040689 http://askubuntu.com/questions/233200/how-to-increase-icon-size-of-xfce4-panel-window-buttons-panel-tasklist-menu Even on Xfce-dev maillist I found this related to the problem: http://xfce.10915.n7.nabble.com/tweaking-Window-Buttons-defaults-td42890.html To sum up, as of today, it is still not possible to have big icons with the "Show Button Labels" option enabled, see: http://i.imgur.com/Le5qm.png http://i.imgur.com/4mqYFob.png Best regards
Yes, this is currently a limitation / design decision within the "window buttons" plugin.
