Panel border not configurable
Hi there. So I went to the forums for this first, but I am not sure that anyone on the forums can help me; I think this might be a bug or a regression compared to the panel behavior in 4.14. Well, a regression depending on perspective. In 4.14, you get the border only if you're in "none (system style)" mode, and you get no border with solid color and background image. Now you always get the border, and the border itself is not configurable. Not even this profoundly overbearing CSS can get rid of it:
.xfce4-panel, .xfce4-panel frame, .xfce4-panel frame > border {
margin: 0px;
border-width: 0px;
border-style: none;
border-left: 0px none;
border-right: 0px none;
border-top: 0px none;
border-bottom: 0px none;
}
However, the GTK inspector does let me manipulate the property that controls this undesired behavior:
I set that to 0 and I got my previous behavior back. But I'm not going to do that every time I start XFCE, and I don't think I can script it. I can see how some people might actually want the border to appear, but I built my system's look-and-feel around the fact that it didn't appear. I style active tasklist buttons to blend into maximized GTK windows. And I actually had window placement rules in Devilspie and picom rules based on the fact that 1080 - 26 = the height of maximized windows is 1054. was, rather; The forced border makes the panel take up 27px instead.
Can we get an Xfconf preference for this, maybe?
