Update: In the above gtkrc-2.0 file, reducing
NautilusIconContainer::normal_alpha from 128 to 96 can improve

This downplays the translucent text background's illumination, making
them less outstanding on a dark wallpaper while still reflective of
their text.

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.

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.

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?

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
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

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

Yao Ziyuan , It's not necessary that we should draw a bounding box to
overcome this problem. KDE does this well without the box. There is
already a patch which fixes this, see the screenshot of the patch in
