====== Theming ======

<note warning>This applies only to GTK 2 versions of Xfce Panel, and doesn't apply to GTK 3.</note>

Besize the appearance settings in the panel preferences, there are also a couple of classes you can style through the ''.gtkrc-2.0'' file. Below we'll summarize the global classes. Some plugins also have gtkrc style properties for specific settings, you can find those in the manual page of the specific plugin.

===== XfcePanelWindow =====
The normal panel window.

<file txt .gtkrc-2.0>
style "xfce-panel-window-style"
{
  # Time in miliseconds before the panel will unhide on an enter event
  XfcePanelWindow::popup-delay = 225

  # Time in miliseconds before the panel will hide on a leave event
  XfcePanelWindow::popdown-delay = 350

  # Size of autohide window in pixels
  XfcePanelWindow::autohide-size = 3
}
class "XfcePanelWindow" style "xfce-panel-window-style"
