This downplays the translucent text background's illumination, making them less outstanding on a dark wallpaper while still reflective of their text. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. https://bugs.laun

Ziyuan: the problem with adding "hacks" is that one has to maintain them. The types of customisation that Ubuntu (or any other distribution) does on the whole are themes and integration. This bug affects everyone, so ideally wants fixing upstream. -- You received this bug notification because y

Yao Ziyuan : I'm not convinced that the suggested gtkrc fix is better. Yes, it does make the words clearer, but IMO, the visual outcome doesnt seem more pleasing. We could very well minimize this problem by not shipping with a very light wallpaper. The change you suggest cannot be done in nautilus

I see Ubuntu does a lot of UI customizations over the vanilla GNOME desktop from the upstream, and why can't this gtkrc-2.0 hack be part of it, until GNOME fixes itself? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubunt

Vish: Yes but distros like Ubuntu should take care of the end user and shield the end user from shortfalls of the upstream. As long as the upstream doesn't release a fixed version, it's always valuable for an end-user distro to release a provisional hack in its repo. -- You received this bug noti

Yao Ziyuan: No, GNOME does not move slowly. If someone submits the patch it will be fixed. Kindly, submit a patch and we can make sure this gets fixed, rather than settling for hacks. Once we settle for a hack , no one will push the bug to be fixed properly. There is already a patch on the upstream

Yao Ziyuan , It's not necessary that we should draw a bounding box to overcome this problem. KDE does this well without the box.

It is actually not an upstream bug. The upstream (GNOME) provides some tricks that can lead to a near-perfect solution: Put a "gtkrc-2.0" file in your home dir, with the following content: style "desktop-icon" { NautilusIconContainer::frame_text = 1 text[NORMAL] = "#00" NautilusIconContai
