My Bio
I've been away for a while and haven't had a chance to return any messages... so I'm sorry about that to anyone asking questions about themes and configurations. (I also no longer use xfce4 or xmonad and currently use KDE4)
Thank you for any nice compliments.

I found your Transparent Panels Tutorial on Xfce.org I was wondering How-to do this?
I am a big fan of Linux OS and Xfce.
My PC has a dual-boot of LinuxMInt-7 Xfce CE and Debian Squeeze (testing).
I am building my own version of Debian 6.0 Squeeze from a netinstall ISO CD and I am making it Pure Xfce with no Gnome dependencies.
Also, a huge member of DeviantART and the DA Forums and several dAmn chats.

You should download WaPush's patch from the xfce4 forum, and then ask on either the ubuntu or debian forums about the proper way to compile the xfce4-panel using that patch.
I use Archlinux so I just place my patch command in my PKGBUILD and build the package from source like normal. (super easy on Arch, I think debian has a similar thing called apt-build..... check into it, I'm not sure)
You would probably have to download the xfce4-panel source code, place the patch in the src folder and run the correct patch command. If it fails it will give a verbose fail message in the console and create a file in the src directory to show what patch caused an error.
If it succeeded it will say so, then all you have to do is continue with the configure; make; make install process. You will also need compositing enabled and you'll have to restart your panel.
I hope this helps a bit.

I originally, was not looking to make the Xfce Panel transparent but to be able to change the background colour of the panel to whatever colour I want?
But, I will give the transparency fix/patch a go.
Do you know or have heard of a patch/fix to be able to do that? Send me a note, better.

You could make a ".gtkrc-2.0" file and place it in your /home/user directory like this:
~/.gtkrc-2.0
Check this thread out where I showed how to make one with a custom image:
[link]
Just make your custom .png image only 1 pixel wide and as tall as you want your panel (like 30 pixels).
This is the only code you would need in your ~.gtkrc-2.0:
--------------------------------
style "panel"
{
bg[NORMAL] = "#181818"
bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "1wx30h-image.png"
fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
}
widget_class "*Panel*" style "panel"
widget "*Panel*" style "panel"
class "*Panel*" style "panel"
---------------------------------
or if you don't want to use an image, just make it like this:
---------------------------------
style "panel"
{
bg[NORMAL] = "#181818"
fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
}
widget_class "*Panel*" style "panel"
widget "*Panel*" style "panel"
class "*Panel*" style "panel"
--------------------------------
The bg[NORMAL] = "#181818" will be the panel color.
And the fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF" will be the font color.
~/.gtkrc-2.0

You have some really sharp looking Firefox themes in your gallery. I'm wondering why you don't make them available for downloading.
I'm still on Windows but I'm shopping around because I'm an open source advocate and I've always been curious about Linux. I'm probably going to go with Ubuntu and try a live CD version before I make a final decision.
Anyway, it would be great to see you distribute some of your themes for Firefox. Please let me know if you intend to.

Want me to ship you a LiveCD so you won't have to fiddle around with anything?
Thanks, but I'm not quite ready yet. I had already burned Fedora 10 and now I'm waiting for 11 plus I have a lot more backing up to do first.
