And mine too! It's a wonderful combination.
I don't seem to have the menu in xfce-panel, what applet is it?

Thank you, mariachi.

The applet called -- guess what -- 'xfce4-menu-plugin'. I believe it is installed automatically with the xfce-panel (from source as I did, or through the repos). In the 'add to panel' dialog, it is called 'xfce menu'. Keep in mind though that I have customised it (right click > Properties). The default title/text (I believe it is normally 'Start' or 'Applications') as well as the default icon are different.

can the panel's color be changed without touching the rest of the GTK theme?
and font size too btw

Not like you can in gnome, at least not that I know. You can, however, add a panelrc file to the gtk theme and specify different settings for the panel in there. I never bother.

I just checked Synaptic and could not find a package for the menu plugin. I guess it comes with the panel itself.

This is how you can change your panel in xfce4:

Make a .gtkrc-2.0 and put it in your /home/folder

This is one that I used with the image "stripe_autum.png" when I was on xubuntu 7.04:

style "panel"
{
  bg[NORMAL] = "#595553"
  bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "stripe_autum.png"
  fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
  }

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

...then just put your image in your /home/folder along with your .gtkrc-2.0 file


Now if you just want a color change, then edit out the "bg_pixmap[NORMAL] part with the image...and just make your bg[NORMAL] the color you want it to be...and the fg[NORMAL] is your font color.


There are other ways to change the buttons, font size and other things, but I'm not sure because I was always doing it for panel image.
