Where is the setting for this?

Debian Stretch 

and Arch desktop

Where is that "switch" to have full icon name (like Arch) on Debian desktop? I am missing that ....

It depends on your GTK theme: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/advanced

Re: Where is the setting for this?

Thank you for answering, those are the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 files

>> ARCH <<

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 10
    base[NORMAL] = "#000000"
    base[SELECTED] = "#71B9FF"
    base[ACTIVE] = "#71B9FF"
    fg[NORMAL] = "#fcfcfc"
    fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
    fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

>> DERBIAN Stretch <<

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
  ## opacity of text background (0 - 255, 0 = transparent)
  XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
  XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 150
  ## Text colors you can delete these if you want you use gtk theme colors
  fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

style "my-details-view"
{
   GtkTreeView::horizontal-separator = 10
}
widget_class "*ThunarDetailsView*" style "my-details-view"

I deleted the content of  ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (DEBIAN) and passed in the Arch setting, rebooted and  --- no difference ???

Re: Where is the setting for this?

because you forgot to set XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels to 0.

~/.gtkrc-2.0 is only the current users configuration, on arch the setting comes from somewhere else (eg /etc/xdg/gtkrc-2.0 or /usr/share/theme/<theme>/gtkrc-2.0)

That did it, but it seems, that making those fine adjustments under XFCE ist quite difficult.

Looks better now, but how to get the icon text aligned/wrapped as in Arch?

Found this thread here

Giving it a try ....

br KH

... tried adding

    XfdesktopIconView::cell-spacing = 6
    XfdesktopIconView::cell-padding = 6
    XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 2.5

NO EFFECT, strange ... XFCE 4.12

Re: Where is the setting for this?

Think. I got it now ...

 

with

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
  ## opacity of text background (0 - 255, 0 = transparent)
  XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
  XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 150
XfdesktopIconView::cell-spacing = 1
XfdesktopIconView::cell-padding = 1
XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 2.1
##  XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels = 0
  ## Text colors you can delete these if you want you use gtk theme colors
  fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

style "my-details-view"
{
   GtkTreeView::horizontal-separator = 10
}
widget_class "*ThunarDetailsView*" style "my-details-view"

Could it be, that the "XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels = 0" command is interfering with

"XfdesktopIconView::cell-spacing = 1
XfdesktopIconView::cell-padding = 1
XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 2.1"

???
