truncated icon text port-5 xfce

on desktop all my (e.g.) drive icons text is truncated - I don't like it to be this way.
A .gtkrc-2.0 file does not work anymore - it is now gtk-3 and changes have to be made
via a css file.
If you, like me, don't want truncated icon text give this a try in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
Create /gtk-3.0/gtk.css if it doesn't exist.
Code: Select all
* {
-XfdesktopIconView-ellipsize-icon-labels: 0;
}
logout/in is required to see the effect.
It solved it for me but it is not perfect.It doesn't look nice if the file names are way too long.

Yes, but you have given the whole solution here :

However, here is my current gtk.css and screenshot
Code: Select all
/* icon text not truncated */
XfdesktopIconView.view {
-XfdesktopIconView-ellipsize-icon-labels: 0;
-XfdesktopIconView-cell-spacing:0;
-XfdesktopIconView-cell-padding:0;
-XfdesktopIconView-cell-text-width-proportion: 2.5;
}
This controls the width of the icon text field:
-XfdesktopIconView-cell-text-width-proportion: 2.5;
Less than 2.5 the text field returns to 1 line
You can restart the desktop with:
Code: Select all
xfdesktop -Q && sleep 1 && xfdesktop &
if you want to experiment with various values.

Hi Rapha
...yep I did...
I'm 65 and apparently my memory is slipping a bit.
EDIT
...well, my body is 65, but I'm not sure my mindset is.

System:
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ cat /etc/porteus/00*
001-core.xzm:20220723
002-xorg.xzm:20220723
002-xtra.xzm:20220630
003-xfce.xzm:20220925
aka XFCE 4.16.
Just created
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
* {
-XfdesktopIconView-ellipsize-icon-labels: 0;
}
and saved in in my 992-rootcopy settings module.
At next bootup I will see if that does the trick.
