    Re: Some nice panel backgrounds...

    When I was using a black theme, I decided to get a little creative with panel "design" and whipped this up. The semi transparent section in the center was where I put the Date/Time panel applet.

    I then put an image in my home directory. I just made a 1px wide image of the same height as my panel with a gradient or sth. Still trying to find something that looks good.
    Many thanks for this! I've been looking for a way to change this in XFCE.

    Wow, those are really nice! I like them. Too bad I'm using Openbox only, otherwise I'd use them...

    Is there any way of customising window buttons?

    I have one too, I made it when I couldn't find a theme with a nice enough green panel bar.

    When close to achieving you quit! If you don't try you failed. Real Winners are not afraid of losing.

    I have the bg_pixmap line commented, so no background, totaly transparent pannels, the background is the wallpaper.
