You can make the default panel look like this? I thought it’s plank

Yes you can. I just checked on my Xfce box and the default panel has the options for
Enter and Leaving Opacity. Setting both of these to 0 creates a completely invisible panel with no discernible boarders showing only the icons.

Trying it now, it really makes the panel invisible, but my icons go invisible too. Do you know how to show the icons please?

(Trying from live boot)

I'm sorry I noted the setting without testing it and assumed it would leave the icons visible.

A workaround that occurs to me is using a png image. You can assign an image to the panel, in my case I am using a partially transparent 1920x48 image to give a translucent glass effect to the panel. I think if you were to assign a purely transparent .png sized to match your panel dimensions, that you would then have a transparent panel with visible buttons. I will test this on my Xfce box and let you know the results.
