These darn icons are pissing me off and there's not a whole lot i can find in the settings. So on the right sys tray, the bluetooth and network icons are perfect; that's how I want ever icon to be; perfectly sized, it's clear and detailed, it looks proper; same with the date and clock. The notification, wifi, and battery look awful. they're huge and bloated and there's no details to them. now the left side, everything is incredibly small and way to far spaced. How can I configure this darn tray to look PROPER??? thanks

You mention 'the settings'; though it's ambiguous whether you looked at the desktop's, wm's, or panel's settings -- the relevant settings are the panel plugins' own little settings widgets, which you can call from a right click menu on the panel plugins themselves.

It's a bit convoluted; though that's the so called 'trade-off' for Xfce's modularity.

Yea, sorry for being so vague, it's just the only way I know how to describe it. panel edit mode or whatever, because then each icon or tray all have their own settings. but anyway, every DE has their own different ways of editing panels and I honestly don't have much XFCE experience, so maybe that's why it's been more difficult for me to figure out.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
