fbpanel: increase text size

I am using fbpanel on debian. In the config file ~/.config/fbpanel/default, I have this section which defines the "start menu": Plugin { type = menu config { IconSize = 26 image = /usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png systemmenu { } separator { } item { name = logout icon = application-exit action = killall -u testuser --quiet } } } I am able to change the icon size, but how do I increase the text size? The text size is too small. enter image description here I am also using openbox, in case that is relevant

change gtk-2 font only for specific application
I have changed general font size for gtk-2 applications by adding this to my `gtkrc` file: gtk-font-name = "Sans 16" this also affected the text size in the application "dock", or however it is called, in the panel: [![enter image description here][1]][1] Now even the text "New Tab - Chromium" does...
I have changed general font size for gtk-2 applications by adding this to my gtkrc file: gtk-font-name = "Sans 16" this also affected the text size in the application "dock", or however it is called, in the panel: enter image description here Now even the text "New Tab - Chromium" does not fit there anymore. Can I selectively only change the text size in the application dosck, while leaving the general gtk-2 test size ? I am using openbox and fbpanel.

openbox+fbpanel: highlight current window when using Alt + Tab

I am using openbox 3.6.1-8 on Debian 10. When I use Alt+Tab to cycle through open windows, I see the preview of the applications as I am cycling through them in the middle of my screen: enter image description here unfortunately the icons in the taskbar do not change accordingly. Is there a way to have the currently highlighted application also be highlighted in the taskbar, so that I can see in the taskbar which application is currently selected in the "cycle-selector", too? The taskbar is actually provided by fbpanel, but I am not sure if fbpanel plays any role in this.

fbpanel: disable mouse scroll action entirely
I am using `fbpanel 7.0-4` on Debian 10. I have applied patches from @Arkadiusz Drabczyk, to put `fbpanel` on one monitor, and to disable virtual desktop switching on mouse scroll: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/559417/fbpanel-only-use-one-monitor/ https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/...
I am using fbpanel 7.0-4 on Debian 10. I have applied patches from @Arkadiusz Drabczyk, to put fbpanel on one monitor, and to disable virtual desktop switching on mouse scroll: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/559417/fbpanel-only-use-one-monitor/ https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/592675/fbpanel-disable-mouse-scroll These patches work great, I just need one more small modification: With the patches applied, mouse scroll no longer switches virtual desktops when cursor is on the panel. But it still acts as "minimize window" when mouse is scrolled directly on the application "dock" (or what is the right word) in the panel. Normally, I can minimize active window by left clicking on the application. That is useful. But also, when cursor is on the application, mouse scroll has same effect, also minimizing and maximizing the current window. This second action I would like to disable. How can I disable this feature, or disable all mouse scroll actions entirely for fbpanel ? I wand to disable mouse scroll only, not actions for mouse click.

tint2: add "systemmenu" to panel

I am trying to customize tint2 panel using the tint2 settings (panel configurator). This is how it looks at the moment: enter image description here I can add application icons to the launcher, etc. But I cannot find how to add "system menu" to the panel. By "system menu" I mean what I think in windows is called "Start button", ie where you click on it and have your applications in categories, such as "Office", "Utilities", "Internet", "Audio & Video". I have been using fbpanel until now, and there is this thing called "systemmenu". This is how its configured in fbpanel: Plugin { type = menu config { IconSize = 22 image = /usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png systemmenu { } } } and here is how it looks like: enter image description here when I click the Debian swirl icon, the "system menu" opens, and I can see all my applications. In tint2 I can only add individual icons on the launcher. But that is not practical for all icons. I don't understand how anybody could use panel without the systems menu. I cannot add 50 individual icons. I need a menu where I can see and select from my applications. **Is it possible to add systems menu to the panel ?** I have created an issue on the projects gitlab page , but got no reaction:

Fbpanel on multiple monitors: how to filter displayed application per screen?
Based on my earlier [question][1] and answer from [Arkadiusz Drabczyk][2], I have set up 3 different instances of fbpanel, separate one for each of my 3 monitors: This is how I start fbpanel: fbpanel -x 0 --profile left & fbpanel -x 1 --profile center & fbpanel -x 2 --profile right & The 3 profiles...
Based on my earlier question and answer from Arkadiusz Drabczyk , I have set up 3 different instances of fbpanel, separate one for each of my 3 monitors: This is how I start fbpanel: fbpanel -x 0 --profile left & fbpanel -x 1 --profile center & fbpanel -x 2 --profile right & The 3 profiles left, center and right are defined in my ~/.config/fbpanel/. The profile center contains definition of the taskbar plugin, ie the active windows currently open are visible on the tab, and can be switched between (alt+tab) or "minimised" Plugin { type = taskbar expand = true config { ShowIconified = true ShowMapped = true ShowAllDesks = false tooltips = true IconsOnly = false MaxTaskWidth = 150 } But the taskbar on the center monitor contains all applications (from all 3 monitors). So I have one taskbar for 3 monitors. I would like to have one taskbar for each of my 3 fbpanels, where only applications currently occupying left monitor would be on the left fbpanel's taskbar, and so on So basically, if I move application window form center monitor to left monitor, the application currently "docked" on the center fbpanel's taskbar should move to left fbpanel's taskbar. I have no idea if this is possible. More details to my setup: Im using fbpanel in openbox, my OS is Debian Buster. I would be happy to recompile the fbpanel package, if that would solve my problem.
