Title: How do I increase the spacing between icons on a panel in XFCE?
Post by: tom-a on 25 July 2025, 17:02:10
 Hello everyone.
Tell me, what should I write in the
Code: [Select]
.gtk.css
  to increase the distance between the icons?
A screenshot for example.

I was looking for answers on different forums, I only see answers on how to increase or decrease icons...

Thank you very much for such an original advice)), but I would like the panel not to enlarge.

I figured it out a little, it's not difficult, but how terrible search engines work in 2025, they offer all options except the right one, for a simple question that takes 5 minutes, the user searches for 2-3 hours.

Sometimes it seems to me that you need to create separate search engines, for example, a search engine by colors, a search engine by cars, a search engine by code, etc

Now it's a mixed salad with millions of answers))

Here is the answer to my question https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=15958 , but I am sure it will often be of interest to users.

Do not forget to add the word  button)) and overload the panel with the command:

Code: [Select]
$ xfce4-panel -r

Add a separator, right-click to its properties, change style to transparent.

Your method is better and simpler))     I tried to insert 5 separators and the distance between the icons increased even more.
