Panel settings are saved here ~/.config/xfce4/panel but you could also try the xfce4-settings-manager.

And to learn how it works you can just download many nice looking examples from here http://xfce-look.org/ and look into the config files that come with these themes.

I used computer for the first time when I was 10 and now it's my primary occupation. I like looking at the things I use daily and ask myself questions such as “How it is made?”, “How does it work?”, or "Could I do it better?". Something that "just works" isn't good enough for me. I always want to do the best with everything I use or develop. I like learning and love coding.

  First try using the GUI itself to make changes, such as right-click on it and select Panel -> Panel Preferences....

  What login manager are you using? And try editing your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xfce4/<somefile>
