Panel Issues Linux Mint

[jaybaxr]

First under the Panel Preferences Items the Start button and notification area selections are not showing to add. Second is the panel doesn't change properly when choosing the Windows XP Style (Blue). Everything else changes just fine but the panel. This has done the same thing in Xbuntu as well.

This project no longer uses XFCE Panel, it provides its own taskbar implementation - run wintc-taskband to launch it.

I ran wintc taskband in terminal and it sent these errors:

(wintc-taskband:22373): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:45:59.491: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:1072:18: 'border_color' is not a valid property name

Thank you for your help

Those are warnings rather than errors, the taskband should be working unless you see anything else? :thinking:

Just one more thing. Everything looks and works great with the panel until I close the terminal.

[rozniak]

That is because the terminal is the parent process when you run it that way, when you close the terminal it closes the child process.

Add wintc-taskband to XFCE Settings > System > Session and Startup > Application Autostart for the taskband to launch upon login.

It works perfect now. Thank you for your help.

No problem, glad I could help. :grin:
