This behaviour is dependent on the graphics driver used and configuration, and there are other associated issues.
The system (a laptop) has its own display (A) and is connected to an external display (B) and has an NVidia graphics card. 1. nouveau driver (either or both displays active) Works in this case (text rendered white with a black shadow and is readable in all background configurations); nautilus renders correctly. 2. nvidia without custom Xorg configuration (display A enabled, display B disabled) Works as (1). 3. nvidia with custom Xorg configuration (display A disabled, display B enabled) Displays an error on startup and nautilus and other GTK+3 apps do not use the selected theme (render in a Win9x-style 2.5D theme). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890096 Title: icon text on the desktop is unreadable using a dark/black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/890096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
