Partitions are always showed on desktop. I want to partitions only showed when they mounted.

How change text colors on desktop, and remove text background?

Re: A few questions

This page should help you configure some of the settings on the desktop you're looking for http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/tree/README
Basically in the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file you'll need something like

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 10
    XfdesktopIconView::cell-spacing = 12

    base[NORMAL] = "#00ff00"
    base[SELECTED] = "#5050ff"
    base[ACTIVE] = "#0000ff"

    fg[NORMAL] = "#ff0000"
    fg[SELECTED] = "#ff0000"
    fg[ACTIVE] = "#ff0000"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

You may want to play with those numbers to get them how you'd like. You'll need to restart xfdesktop to see any changes. xfdesktop --quit from the command line will stop it, then xfdesktop & should re-launch it.
