These darn icons are pissing me off and there’s not a whole lot i can find in the settings. So on the right sys tray, the bluetooth and network icons are perfect; that’s how I want ever icon to be; perfectly sized, it’s clear and detailed, it looks proper; same with the date and clock. The notification, wifi, and battery look awful. they’re huge and bloated and there’s no details to them. now the left side, everything is incredibly small and way to far spaced. How can I configure this darn tray to look PROPER??? thanks

Hm, that is weird… they should change with the theme…

I don’t know if there is an xfce comm here on Lemmy, but if there is, it’s best to ask there, since this is an xfce specific thing (KDE or other DEs may implement this differently).

EDIT: There is, !xfce@fedia.io, but the last post there is from 4 months ago 😔.

oh it’s all good brother, I could always try another distro in the future or just skip Xfce all together lol. I appreciate your help though

Xfce is cool, I use it on all my installs. But than again, I have never tinkered with themes that much or tray icons 🤷.

Try Void if you’re not too afraid of the terminal 😁. The repo is pretty good and stuff mostly works out of the box. If they don’t, you just need to configure them correctly.

I may give Linux Lite a try, which is of course xfce based. Void I hear is very good, but after researching it a bit, I feel it’s more complicated or advanced than what it appears. more for like advanced users that really know how to work linux. i’m more intermediate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
