There's actually no configuration option for this; you will have to add this manually to your .gtkrc: style "gnome-desktop-icon" { fg[NORMAL] = { 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 } bg[NORMAL] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 } } widget_class "*DesktopIcon*" style "gnome-desktop-icon" This sets the foreground color to white and background to black (if you use `Shaped text' the second line won't make any difference). Just remember that if you change GTK+--themes, your .gtkrc file might be over-written. -- Kjetil
