Xfce Panels - Change autohide delay?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4426 / 3 Years ago, sat, may 15, 2021, 8:49:54

I'm trying to set a panel up for a small touch screen and I have a shortcut which toggles autohide, enabling autohide makes it appear, but on disabling autohide there's a short delay which is annoying.

Using Xfce4 panels, there is no way I can find within the GUI of changing the autohide delay. Are there any configuration files etc I could edit to achieve this?

A bit of Googling returns this:

Add this to ~/.gtkrc-2.0.

 style "xfce-panel-window-style"

 {

   # Time in miliseconds before the panel will unhide on an enter event

   XfcePanelWindow::popup-delay = 225



   # Time in miliseconds before the panel will hide on a leave event

   XfcePanelWindow::popdown-delay = 350

 }

 class "XfcePanelWindow" style "xfce-panel-window-style"
