Windows keeps an icon cache and if this file becomes corrupt for some reason, some or all of the shortcuts on your desktop may disappear. In 18.04, Xubuntu still has a gtk2-based desktop and so the gtk2 aspects can be modified without much difficulty.Frequently Asked Questions Why do shortcuts disappear from desktop? Note that even though Greybird is a compiled theme, that only affects the gtk3 aspect. To increase or decrease the transparency of the region surrounding text such as surrounding Trash in the last image. One could also play with XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0 File System and Home are virtually invisible in the image below. With lighter backgrounds or wallpapers, text legibility maybe reduced.
XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 1.9įg = shade (0.9, = shadows is fine provided one has a simple darkish background. # XfdesktopIconView::shadow-color = shade(1.5, XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-color = shade(1.8, XfdesktopIconView::shadow-blur-radius = 2 # XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-y-offset = 1 # XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-x-offset = 0 XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 80 (These lines are not commented out in the original gtkrc.) style "xfdesktop-icon-view" To remove shadows, I commented out all lines relating to shadows. Style "xfcedesktop-icon-view" (~ line 927). In ~/.themes/MyGreybird/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, the code determining the appearance of text on the desktop is in the section titled To distinguish the copied local version from the system one, I renamed the local version MyGreybird. I first copied the entire Greybird folder from /usr/share/themes over to ~/.themes which I created in my home folder. To remove the shadows, one has to edit Greybird's gtkrc file.
In what follows, I'm using a plain background similar to the ones in the question with Greybird as the theme on Xubuntu 18.04.1. So, with a light background, the shadow ensures some legibility at least if the actual text is also light. If the text is light, the shadow is dark. At the outset, I should point out that one reason for including shadows for text on the desktop is to ensure that the text is visible even if the user switches to a differently colored background or changes wallpapers.
