Public bug reported: # Nvidia Proprietary driver (any version from my testing) removes the transparent rectangle behind the text on desktop icons and also makes the text bold.
This is how the text appears after installing Nvidia Proprietary Drivers: http://i.imgur.com/89MjA9k.png And this is how they should be shown***: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/162751726/Screenshot%20-%2001172014%20-%2006%3A33%3A31%20PM.png ***This image also contains a bug found on Bug 1271891, but shows the correct Text style and proper semi transparent rectangle. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1271891 Reverting to the Open Source Nvidia Driver does not correct the problem, it will stay permanently like that. Reseting XFCE4 to it's defaults will also make no effect. ** Affects: xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273889 Title: No background on Desktop Icons text on Xubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1273889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
