 sudo vim /usr/share/themes/Nordic/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

hit insert to edit file

comment it out like that for example:

/** .panel.maximized {
    background-color: #000; }

and then put this into this file below the commented our fragment:

.panel.maximized > .horizontal:first-child > :first-child, 
.panel.color-dark > .horizontal:first-child > :first-child {
    font-size:0px;
}
