Bug#831678: gtk2-engines-murrine: Text shadow misaligned for desktop icons on XFCE
Package: gtk2-engines-murrine Version: 0.98.1.1-6 Followup-For: Bug #831678 I have been having this issue as well. It does look like the Ubuntu bugreport claims to be fixed in 0.98.2, so catching up to upstream may solve this issue (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827451) bug discussion on the repository for the theme I've been using: https://github.com/B00merang-Project/B00merang-Themes/issues/17 -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gtk2-engines-murrine depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc62.24-12 ii libcairo21.14.10-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.12.3-0.1 ii libfreetype6 2.8-0.2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.52.3-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.6-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.6-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-01.40.6-1 ii libpixman-1-00.34.0-1 Versions of packages gtk2-engines-murrine recommends: ii murrine-themes 0.98.11 gtk2-engines-murrine suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
Bug#831678: gtk2-engines-murrine: Text shadow misaligned for desktop icons on XFCE
Hi, I found an old thread [1] on Xfce forum, there's a discussion about how fonts look on the desktop. Not sure if it's relevant now, but there are some interesting code samples for gtkrc file. [1] https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=9283

Hi, The guys at [1] confirm the problem goes away after [2] and don't mention the disappearance of the shadows. However, in case they missed it somehow, I'd suggest setting textstyle to 1 instead of 0. It might work.

Bug#831678: Re: Bug#831678: gtk2-engines-murrine: Text shadow misaligned for desktop icons on XFCE
Hi everyone, As far as I'm concerned, what the patches for Numix and Arc actually do is turn off desktop text shadows entirely, so they're more workarounds than actual fixes. From my experience, Xfce desktop icon labels without shadowing become blandly white, which doesn't contrast well with lighter wallpapers. A quick look at https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/blob/master/gtk-2.0/gtkrc finds no results for "textstyle = 5", which I believe is what enables shadowing in the first place. That's probably why it's not affected. Arc [1], Vertex [2], and Numix [3] on the other hand, have all used this styling.

Bug#831678: gtk2-engines-murrine: Text shadow misaligned for desktop icons on XFCE
Hi, Sorry guys, I mostly tested the patch in various Debian & Ubuntu installations with MATE. The only Xfce system I've tried was Xubuntu 14.04, and I didn't see any regressions there. Looking at bug reports linked to the mentioned LP report, I noticed a screenshot showing that GreyBird theme isn't affected [1]. Also it seems to be fixed now in Numix theme [2]. Are Numix, Arc and Vertex themes related somehow? [1] https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme/issues/607 [2] https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/pull/496

Bug#831678: gtk2-engines-murrine: Text shadow misaligned for desktop icons on XFCE
Package: gtk2-engines-murrine Version: 0.98.1.1-6 The most recent gtk2-engines-murrine update (0.98.1.1-6) to fix bug 827134 caused a regression in some themes on the Xfce desktop. The text shadow is significantly misaligned with the text for Xfce desktop icons. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/1598316 You can verify using arc-theme which was recently packaged in Debian. In my testing, I was not able to duplicate this issue on Ubuntu MATE which also uses GTK2 but uses Nautilus to draw the desktop. Therefore, I'm thinking this bug should be raised with Xfce.
