## Description
Sometimes the first click (press-and-releasse) on the places plugin in my panel does nothing. A second click is needed to actually open it. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this yet, it appears to be happening somewhat randomly.

Hence, I've selected a relatively large base font (14 pt), and I've set the dpi settings to 160 dpi. And for some information which should be easily and quickly readable, I have to use much larger fonts (e.g. the time font in the datetime panel app is 28 pt).
However, the maximum row size for panels is limited to 128 pixel. This should suffice for horizontal panels, but it is definitely way too small for vertical panels:
- Window buttons would need several hundred pixels (400-500?) in width at that font and dpi size
- The panel is way too narrow for the datetime app, both for the time with seconds and for the date, and even for the time without seconds
- The icons in the workspace switcher are unrecognizably small
- For all the performance meters, the label (e.g. the network interface or disk name) does not fit.
- The CPU graph would also benefit from more width.
Please increase the limit e.g. to 512 pixel!https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/321Option to set autohide unhide delay2023-04-29T17:08:57ZYousuf PhilipsOption to set autohide unhide delayIt would be useful to be able to easily set the delay in the panel properties dialog when a hidden panel appears.

## Description
In the panel, if you have two grouped application windows, e.g. two terminals, you can't move or switch their position to, for example, a single firefox window.
Basically, grouped windows in the panel can't be moved.
If this has already been fixed, sorry.

This is confusing for me and my expected behavior is that sticky windows show on all workspaces in the pager matching the behavior of the window. I have proven this out working with a change to `libwnck`, [open MR here](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libwnck/-/merge_requests/53). The maintainers there wanted to confirm XFCE is good with this change so I'm opening this issue.
My proposal for change is this:
1. Get consensus this is a feature we want so the `libwnck` changes can get merged
1. Update the `libwnck` MR to put the new functionality behind a flag that is off by default to preserve current functionality.
2. Update the xfce4-panel pager plugin in to support this. There are two options that I'd like to discuss here:
1. Enable the new feature with no user interaction and make it the default.
2. Add a toggle to turn this feature on in the pager preferences UI and default it to off to preserve current functionality.
I'm also looking for guidance on how to handle the API change to `libwnck` within XFCE. Do we set minimum versions somewhere for libs in the project? Obviously this wouldn't work if dynamically linked against an older version of `libwnck` that doesn't have this API, and I'm not sure how this is typically handled in open source Linux packages like this.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/813Feature request pls, autohide on sys notificacion icon2024-02-02T00:06:59ZCoreTrackerFeature request pls, autohide on sys notificacion iconHello xfce team, i have a feature request in system icon i explain the situation is easy i think.

I see with Xfce 4.16, it looks like status tray/systray known items have been split up into multiple types. In theory this is a good idea. However, in practice, it actually reduces customizability because it means that you cannot fully adjust the order of the items in the tray.
For example, look at this picture:
![](https://i.imgur.com/eMJkz5J.png)
You can see that anydesk comes before any of the other icons.
However, if I want to put anydesk to be near the end of the icons like I had it in Xfce 4.14, this is no longer possible:
![](https://i.imgur.com/g6lp7ld.png)
I suggest some sort of option to be able to toggle the old behaviour, or simply going back to having merged Known Items so that the order can be adjusted completely.

one of the usability problems I have with Xfce is related to multi-monitor setups.
When you have a a panel e.g. on the bottom of a monitor, you can slam the mouse pointer to the bottom and then interact with the panel. But if you have another monitor underneath, you can't slam because the pointer ends up on the next monitor ;)
This is frustrating because a lot of muscle memory is involved in this slam. It also makes interaction more tiresome as more precise movements are needed.
Cinnamon (I think) has a solution to this. They simply prevent the cursor from moving past the outer edge of the panel, presumably using [pointer barriers](https://who-t.blogspot.com/2012/12/whats-new-in-xi-23-pointer-barrier.html). Could the same be implemented in Xfce's panel?
Of course this begs the question: How **do** you move past the panel when you actually intend to? This could be based on a certain speed, or a certain threshold (the same way Xfwm4's workspace wrapping resistance works currently)

## Description
Current behaviour:
Right now the only thing that can be done by mouse-scrolling is to change from one active application to the contiguous one.
Desired behaviour:
Make this mouse wheel command customizable, if possible. For comparison, tint2 has an option where you can set anything related to every button, and there is a very interesting feature: toggle minimize/focus, which can be bound at the mouse wheel such that when a window button is hovered over, one can scroll in order to simulate a mouse click. One can also close the window, etc.
It is, of course, a low priority task, but it would be great to have more customization regarding mouse input.

## Description
I dont see why the panel need to be restricted to a maximum of 6 rows in panel preferences.
If in horizontal mode i have 7 buttons from a plugin in line but then switch the panel to deskbar mode (vertical panel, horizontal plugin) the panel can not show the last button from the plugin because the panel is only allowed 6 rows so the last button is clipped.
And it seems the panel does not allow the overflowing button to wrap to the next line.
So i guess what i want is to change the panel size like i would change the size of a window.
Not indirectly by changing the number of rows or the row size inside the panel but just the panel size.
Perhaps it would be better to be able to select the width/height of the panel in % both ways.
It seems like currently you can select the length in % and the "width" indirectly by the row height.

allow-blinking option functionality
I've always found blinking on urgency hints annoying, so I added the option for Windows Buttons to disable it.
I didn't add anything to the options menu since I wasn't exactly sure where to put it; include-all-blinking doesn't have an entry either so I figure it's fine.
For non-developers finding this, you can set the option to off (after building this in, obviously) by using:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -np /plugins/plugin-1/allow-blinking -t bool -s false
At least it's plugin-1 for me.
