Desktop icon text

How do I make the desktop icon text nontransparent in the new xfce? I did it once on 4.12 but I don't remember how I did it.

Can you take a look in your ~.config/gtk-3.0 folder and see if there is a gtk.css with contents?
What theme are you using?

There is still some information here about theming xfdesktop in 4.12 (gtk2).

Toz, I think he's asking about 4.14.

I see. Here is a thread that discusses the gtk3 version of those parameters.

Ok. I created the css file in /home/USER/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. Is it possible to set it to use whatever the colors are for the current theme I'm using?

I'm assuming this is all that's needed? P.S. I'm using the bluementa theme

/* default label state */
XfdesktopIconView.view .label {
background: blue;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black; }

/* active (selected) label state */
XfdesktopIconView.view .label:active {
background: red;
text-shadow: 1px 3px 3px blue; }

Yes, use "color: #xxxxxx". Example:

/* default label state */
  XfdesktopIconView.view .label {
    color: red;
    background: blue;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black; }

/* active (selected) label state */
  XfdesktopIconView.view .label:active {
   color: rgb(34,222,16);
    background: red;
    text-shadow: 1px 3px 3px blue; }
