How do you chnage the desktop font colour??
How do you change the Desktop icon font colour?
A quick google suggests that you change the code in either .gtkrc-xfce or\and .gtkrc-2.0 I have the following text in both files
style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
That should mean the text is white, but my text is black
I am running XFCE 4.10
Any thoughts?

Well this is interesting. It would appear that if the theme already defines a style by the same name ("xfdesktop-icon-view"), then you can't overwrite it. I didn't know that.
Try renaming "xfdesktop-icon-view" to "my-xfdesktop-icon-view" (for example) and it should work. You'll have to make the change in two places in your snippet.

Try it with a theme that already defines an "xfdesktop-icon-view" style like Greybird or Numix. It won't overwrite the existing style definition.
