jaspreet, you might want to search the internet for tutorials on the Gimp, which is the application shipped with Xubuntu that allows you to edit/create images.

Which version of Xubuntu and Xfce are you using? (Though I don’t think that should matter) Have you followed the instructions precisely (e.g. are all filenames correct?). Could you follow the steps again and check whether it still doesn’t work?

My panel background doesn’t appear using your file even using the file name you used.

@tz – great

@wat – obviously people would have to know what Xfce and Xubuntu are, just as people would need to know what Windows is if there was a tutorial on that.

Apart from that, if you can’t understand how to perform the steps described in this post, you probably don’t want to anyway. Though I agree that it might be made easier (for example, in Ubuntu, you can just drag a theme package to the Appearance screen to install it, though even that can still be a bit complicated).

Already on Bugzilla, already assigned to Nick as well.

Absurd, how someone says it’s just as customizable as KDE or Gnome, and yet it can’t handle vertical taskbars even as well as Windows 95.

@wisachai – sorry, wouldn’t know how to do that. Fat chance that that’s not possible yet. You might want to add a feature request for xfdesktop.

@tz – Nick Schermer is working on an improved xfce4-panel for Xfce 4.8 (4.6 is almost to be released). You might want to mention this on the Xfce Bugzilla as well (first check whether it isn’t already).
