Each panel needs this property individually. Moreover, another checkbox for "Do not show shadows under panel if a window is maximized/near its borders" wouldn't hurt.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/566Support Ayatana label2023-04-02T21:11:29ZBugzilla MigrationSupport Ayatana label## Submitted by Andre Miranda `@andreldm`

label-poc.patch
This is a follow up of [Bug 14725](https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14725).
Some apps, such as SafeEyes[1], use AppIndicator and set a label of their indicator.
This label is not handled by statusnotifier-plugin.
The attached path is just a proof-of-concept, that replaces the title in tooltip by label.
A sample application is provided in [Bug 14725](https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14725).

I'm *not* suggesting removing the animation and keeping the bottom panel, since that leads to precious screen real estate being wasted and I already filed a bug report about that years ago ( https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14918 ). Instead I propose completely removing the bottom panel. I've been using Xfce for about a decade (probably will for the rest of my life) and the first thing I do after installing is delete the bottom panel. It's just useless. Every button down there can instead be put on the top panel, to the right of the "Applications" button, but to the left of the "open windows" section. On Microsoft Windows these are often referred to as "quick launchers".
It seems like the only reason the bottom panel is there is to mimic the MacOS look; but really you shouldn't, Apple sucks.
Kinda Off-Topic (but actually pretty related): The Applications Menu in top-left of screen should not show the "button title" (the word "Applications") by default, it should just be an icon. Or maybe a compromise could be to shorten the word to "Apps"?https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/551[FR] Switch desktop on the "Show Desktop" icon via mouse wheel2022-10-20T16:24:46ZFrancesco[FR] Switch desktop on the "Show Desktop" icon via mouse wheelSimilarly to how you can roll the mouse wheel on the desktop to switch to another desktop, or on the PulseAudio plugin to change the volume, it'd be really cool if it was possible to switch desktop on Xfce by rolling the wheel mouse on t...Similarly to how you can roll the mouse wheel on the desktop to switch to another desktop, or on the PulseAudio plugin to change the volume, it'd be really cool if it was possible to switch desktop on Xfce by rolling the wheel mouse on the Show Desktop button/applethttps://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/547[FR] Xfce-panel.

This doesn't happen with every app but some apps like kitty, calibre, gnome-calculator, steam, pidgin, keepassxc, regular folders and potentially others are not using the theme's icon. Menus are using the correct icons though.
I asked on Xfce forums if anyone knew how to fix it and [a moderador was able to replicate this issue and encouraged me to create a bug report](https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=64258#p64258).https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/526Feature request: Ability to customize 'Show Desktop' size/icon2022-10-20T16:24:46ZAl WoodsFeature request: Ability to customize 'Show Desktop' size/iconThe Show Desktop panel plugin is currently very simple, and it's look is dependent on whatever icon theme you are running.

To ...Is there a way to programmatically re-order the window buttons/tasklist? And if not can there be one?
I would like Xfce to automatically start some programs I often start on login, and to order the window buttons in a way I prefer.
To reorder them correctly, I would like to be notified when a new window button appears, with it's `WnckWindow` (so I can get the window's title text and it's process id). Then I want to tell Xfce where this new window button should be placed at in the tasklist. I believe `xfce_tasklist_button_compare()` performs this task, so I'd like an option to override this.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/478Window buttons / Tasklist labels size is severely limited2023-09-03T14:49:44ZChang ZhaoWindow buttons / Tasklist labels size is severely limitedI need large fonts due to old age and poor sight, so my display has 144 dpi.

![tasks_deskbar](/uploads/ce257dad7bf50d4772deab7929455e0a/tasks_deskbar.jpg)
despite the fact that only about 1/3 of the vertical space is used on the panel.
The text is not that large, but already it gets cluttered and cropped. Trying to add margins and paddings to css only reduces buttons or labels, their boundaries remain small.
By the way, the icons remain small too. I know there were many bugs reported and discussed regarding the icons, and I thought the issue with icons should have been resolved (?) in [https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/merge_requests/29](https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/merge_requests/29), but I actually use rather fresh software, and the problem is there:

manjaro-xfce-21.0.4-210506-linux510
_**(PS.** I have built xfce4-panel 4.16.3 from the release tarball, and it's all the same.)_
2. Likewise, in Horizontal panel, I can see no more than 9 symbols of the labels (and sometimes more is necessary), even though there is much free space:

Wine applications especially. Frequently, when the dialog window is closed again, the application's button in the window button list starts blinking. This is despite the fact that the application already is active and has focus.
This smells like a bug. I don't think the currently active/focused window's button should be able to blink. It's unnecessarily distracting, and there's no intuitive way to stop it when it happens.
To make it stop, one has to focus a different window and then the application again.

I.e. if you open Thunderbird, then Fifrefox window, then another Firefox window, in the panel the order will be FF-FF-TB. This is true for 3 of the 5 modes available.
One may switch order to Timestamp or None which will make more recent apps appear to the right, however, the windows will not be grouped. I.e., if you open a Firefox window, then Thunderbird, then another Firefox window, they will appear as FF-TB-FF in the panel, while the behavior most users are arguably used to or at least expect is FF-FF-TB.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/461[feature suggestion] Make 'Add New Items' screen more informative by telling ...2022-04-07T16:11:01Zyuri@FreeBSD[feature suggestion] Make 'Add New Items' screen more informative by telling the user which items (plugins) are already installedCurrently:

* already added once
* already added 3 times
* not added yet
Currently it is hard to find items that aren't already installed.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/444win7-like thumbs in pop-up windows2022-04-05T14:40:45ZBugzilla Migrationwin7-like thumbs in pop-up windows## Submitted by Liv

## Description
This is a request concerning some Win7-like eye-candy. I filed it originally against xfce4-panel (bug http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6881 ), but was redirected to the window manager.
One thing that would improve the Icon Box experience (or its equivalent in 4.7) would be a pop-up window, which would appear immediately upon hovering (and quicker than the current tooltip), and would feature the wm title (as in the current tooltip) but also some oft-used wm buttons such as 'minimise' and 'close'. In a complete implementation, make these configurable in a fashion similar to Settings > WM > Button layout.
Another bit of eye-candy would be a thumb included in the pop-up window
described above. This would be similar to what Win7 does, or Opera when
hovering its tabs. I'm wondering, though, how difficult it would be to
implement this. In any case it should be optional, for user who prefer a
simpler layout.
Transitions. Opera's transitions---the sliding effect when quickly moving
(hovering) from one tab to another---are best in the business, and should such
a pop-up window ever be implemented Opera's way of handling pop-up thumbs
should be a handy source of inspiration.
Would these have a place in xfwm4?
