XFCE4 - no brackets around window names in panel

Hello there, I hate having brackets around minimized windows in my XFCE4 panel.
So I prepared patches for the default window list and window buttons plugins which come with xfce4-panel.
Patches are available on Github along with the PKGBUILD file.
Once you downloaded and compiled them, you will get the following appearance(Thunar and xfce4-terminal are minimized):

There will be no difference between the inactive and minimized window in the panel.

Go get it working, do the following.

$ git clone https://github.com/tkaserg/xfce4-panel-nobrackets.git
$ makepkg -si

Restart the panel or sign out and sign in back in your XFCE4 session.

I hope someone will find it useful.
