Dear Maintainer,

Changing style in XFCE affects differently some plugins in the panel. They appear on a different background color and in some cases text color too. I have seen this problem with xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin, xfce4-verve-plugin and xfce4-sensors-plugin.
This is specially visible with my usual theme, Kali-X.
Hovering mouse over whisker menu changes backgroud color to what it should have, displayed menu on click is not affected. Verve plugin shows white window, but border is almost no visible, and text is white. Changing it via plugin preferences leaves cursor still white, and background color change does nothing. Plugin title is also black with white text. Sensors plugin shows black background and title.

I have the same problem. It might be an issue with GTK2, since most DEs and
themes use GTK3 now. It would probably be a good idea to wait until then before
doing anything, just to make sure.

Hi

Recently I've switched to Skeuos Light Theme. I prefer dark panel, so
I've turned on dark-panel mode in panel's settings. I've noticed that
window with available network connections is still white.

Not sure if it's a bug in xfce4-panel or in plugin's package.
