    How are you trying to change the background? Also are you using Compiz?

    There is no possibility by default to change taskbar background(just like in Gnome) in xfce 4.6, I knew that there is so called "cairo-patch" but I do not understand how to use it?

    Change the taskbar background? Does this work?

    Create a 1 pixel by whatever width your taskbar is pixels bitmap in some sort of image editor. Maybe you could save it in your /home/username folder with the name .BITMAP.bmp

    Open /home/YOURNAME/.gtkrc-2.0 with your favourite text editor.

    Mine looks like this...

    gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"

    style "panel"
    {
    bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = ".BITMAP.bmp"
    fg[NORMAL] = "white"
    }

    widget_class "*Panel*" style "panel"
    widget "*Panel*" style "panel"
    class "*Panel*" style "panel"

    Obviously replace .bitmap.bmp with whatever your background is called.

    Is that what you meant?
