After changing panel settings active icon appears

Cubik · 10 June 2021 12:04

I’ve customied my manjaro xfce:

Install Manjaro xfce
install theme
install icons and cursors
install plank dock and it’s theme
install ulauncher and it’s theme
configure panel, only elements and appearance

Now when I open panel settings and close them
Panel is premanently bordered with red line and active application in the plank dock shown.

Application is called “Create launch icon on the panel”
And I can’t close it!

After reboot all works fine

What can possibly cause it and is there a way to fix it?

Hi @Cubik ,
I wonder whether you could provide the theme, icon and cursors name and url where you downloaded them, in order to replicate your problem.

Regards,

Cubik · 11 June 2021 16:14

Hi @j8a ,
Yep, sure

Dracula theme: https://www.pling.com/p/1099856/
Tela icons purple: https://www.pling.com/p/1279924/
Candy icons: https://www.pling.com/p/1305251
Sweet rainbow: https://www.pling.com/p/1284047/
Plank theme, TCE Uppercap: https://www.pling.com/p/1305874/
Ulauncher theme: GitHub - fsrocha-dev/ulauncher-palenight-theme: A theme for Ulauncher based on Palenight Theme Vscode

Launch on login: plank, ulauncher

Thanks in advance

Hi @Cubik ,
I followed your instructions and I installed all but TCE Uppercap and nothing happened, everything is working all right.
I add a picture of my desktop.
My XFCE Desktop with Plank
I wonder whether a different plank theme may change something, but I am not sure.
I usually prefer the Cairo Dock, which brings many alternatives as TCE Uppercap.

Hope it help, regards

Cubik · 16 June 2021 12:25

Hi @j8a ,
I really appreciate your help, will test Cairo as soon as possible
And maybe I won’t use any of these docks and will just configure the panels to show launch icons and window buttons.

Thank you once more!

j8a · 16 June 2021 14:07

Hi @Cubik ,
I finally install the TCE and it looks good, although I could not see the problem you have reported before.

Cubik · 16 June 2021 21:42

Hi @j8a ,
Could you try to change settings of panels and then close this window?

j8a · 17 June 2021 13:38

Hi @Cubik ,
I change my panel settings under appearance in Style from Dracula-slim to vimix-dark, the Icons from Tela Purple to Tela Yellow and in Windows decoration from Dracula-slim to vimix-dark and the result is the same.
Here is the screenshot: XFCE after changing settings

Then, here is my desktop with all the windows closed: XFCE Desktop after the recent changes
