The Applications Menu Plugin does not respect xsettings IconSizes "panel-applications-menu" value. All icons in Applications Menu have always size 16x16.
Same problem for me. With Xfce-4.10 it works, with Xfce-4.12 it does not. The problem is related to the standard application-menu. I cannot say if it is related to the whisker menu too. I filed already a bug at Gentoo's bug tracker.

Is there any way to overcome this really annoying problem? (Even a patch includable into the compiling process would help) The problem becomes more and more unlovely for me because my distribution (Gentoo) set Xfce 4.12 as default/stable so I am forced to update to it. Best regards Gerold PS: Seems that also another bug was opened some time ago describing the same problem: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10848
You can replace aplicationsmenu plugin within aplicationsmenu plugin from 4.10. It works ;)
Sounds good, but how does it work?
Created attachment 6367 Applicationsmenu plugin from xfce4-panel 4.10
Sorry, but what should I do with this file?
I don't use gentoo. Maybe do that help: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches
Thanks for the quick answer. I did not recognize that it is a patch. Unfortunately I get an error during the compiling process of xfce4-panel. So where do you get the file from. (I ask, because eventually I need to extract it from my distribution.) Again thanks a lot
I extracted the xfce4-panel 4.12.0 and 4.10.x sources and replaced xfce4-panel-4.12.0/plugins/applicationsmenu/* within xfce4-panel-4.10.x/plugins/applicationsmenu/*. After that i made this patch.
Thank for your answer. I solved the problem. The whole problem is related to a missing package. The solution came along with a suggestion (from gentoo bugtracker) to test everything with greybird. I did not have greybird installed previously so my first step was to install it. Then I restarted X and surprisingly now everything works like it should. Thereby it is worth to notice that I do not changed the theme I use (Clearlooks with Metabox) to greybird not even for testing. Obviously some parts of the packages pulled in by the installation of greybird are needed for all themes to scale the icons properly. The packages pulled in by the installation of greybird were (on gentoo): x11-themes/murrine-themes-0.98.0 x11-themes/gtk-engines-murrine-0.98.2-r1 x11-themes/greybird-1.5.3 I would suggest to mark the needed packages as an dependency for the installation Xfce4-panel 4.12 to solve the problem. Gerold PS: Interestingly the application-menu of 4.12 uses GTK3 where the one of 4.10 uses GTK2. It seems to me that because of this the 4.12 application-menu needs some parts of the greybird stuff.
Thank for your solution. I use openSUSE 13.1 and adwaita 3.10 gtk2/gtk3 theme. I'll try your solution. Thank you again.

The Applications Menu Plugin respects xsettings IconSizes "gtk-menu", not "panel-applications-menu" (libgarcon v0.4)
