-===== Plugin theming examples =====+===== GTK3 Theme testing and debugging ===== 
 + 
 +For testing, you can make modifications in the override file located at **~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css**. If the directory path doesn't exist, then you will have to create it. 
 + 
 +    mkdir -p  ~/.config/gtk-3.0 
 + 
 +To see your modifications applied, you can reset the xfce4-panel process by typing the following command into a terminal: 
 + 
 +    xfce4-panel -r 
 + 
 +For debugging, you can use the [[https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GTK/Inspector|GtkInspector tool from GNOME]]. To inspect the XFCE panelbar and its plugins, you can perform the following: 
 + 
 +Quit the current xfce panel process: 
 + 
 +    xfce4-panel -q 
 + 
 +Start the panel process with GtkInspector debugging enabled (Note: This will load an inspector window for each individual panel plugin): 
 + 
 +    GTK_DEBUG=interactive xfce4-panel
