Desktop Icons

[rijnsma]

Some appearances in 'settings' do it without.
There are themes etc. in the repo, that is how I did it this time.

But:
I didn't try in LL and don't know if it still works, but this is how I did it for some years in Xfce:

Xfce desktop icons
Here is ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file stoat posted some time back for setting the Xfce desktop icon background opacity
to zero so the text "cartouche" box disappears (full transparency).
Code:

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
    XfdesktopIconView:elected-label-alpha = 170
    XfdesktopIconVIew::ellipsize-icon-labels = 1

    XfdesktopIconView:hadow-x-offset = 0
    XfdesktopIconView:hadow-y-offset = 0
    XfdesktopIconView:hadow-color = "#000000"
    XfdesktopIconView:elected-shadow-x-offset = 0
    XfdesktopIconView:elected-shadow-y-offset = 0
    XfdesktopIconView:elected-shadow-color = "#ffffff"

    XfdesktopIconVIew::cell-spacing = 6
    XfdesktopIconView::cell-padding = 6
    XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 2.5

    base[NORMAL] = "#cccccc"
    base[SELECTED] = "#cccccc"
    base[ACTIVE] = "#cccccc"

    fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
    fg[SELECTED] = "#000000"
    fg[ACTIVE] = "#000000"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
