Could someone please tell how to get nontransparant text for my desktop icons?
I like it because I can use either light or dark wallpapers, and still be able to read the text.

Re: nontransparant desktop icon text
What do I need to open .gtrc-2.0.swp? I'm assuming thats the right file.
To make the XFCE desktop icons text background transparent create this file in the $HOME directory: ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (or check if it already exists!) and put the following in it:
.gtkrc-2.0
style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
base[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
base[SELECTED] = "#5D97D1"
base[ACTIVE] = "#5D97D1"
fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
Re: nontransparant desktop icon text
The file is just a text file named .gtkrc-2.0, there's no .swp extension.
If it's not there already you can create it.
