Rendering Desktop Icon Label Background Transparent in XFCE
Posted: 17 Oct 2013, 11:14
Greetings!
The subject line says it all! I wish to render desktop Icon text label background transparent in Porteus 2.1 32bit XFCE 4.10 while keeping the text visible through different colored screens. Mint mavens told me to try this in a gk file but it doesn't seem to work for Porteus. Any hint much appreciated!
