Unreadable desktop text with theme
This answer is only for the mentioned theme in the question, i.e "Windows-10-master" Theme.
in this particular theme, to change the text color of folders on Desktop.
i have saved my themes in /usr/share/themes/
you need to replace /usr/share/themes
with ~/.themes
in the below example as you saved your themes in ~/.themes/
I have created a nautilus.css
file in the folder/usr/share/themes/Windows-10-master/gtk-3.20/apps
made the content in this file as below
.nautilus-desktop.nautilus-canvas-item {
color: blue; # <--------- here in the place of "blue" you can put any valid color you want
}
Save the file & Close.
now, Open the file gtk.css
in the folder/usr/share/themes/Windows-10-master/gtk-3.20/
add the below line at the end,@import url("apps/nautilus.css");
after adding this line, last 3 lines should look like this.
@import url("gtk-contained.css");
@import url("apps/gnome-terminal.css");
@import url("apps/nautilus.css");
Save the file & Close.
Reboot to see the change.
The issue here is with the text colour of the theme.
You can change this quite easily, since GTK+ themes (as of GTK+ 3) are simply CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
You can change the colour to
#FFFFFF;
as opposed to
@desktop_item_fg;
in this section:
.caja-desktop,
.nemo-desktop.nemo-canvas-item,
.nautilus-desktop.nautilus-canvas-item {
color: @desktop_item_fg;
text-shadow: 1px 1px @desktop_item_text_shadow;
}
Or change the value of the variable:
@define-color fg_color
You might also want to consider a more up to date theme. You can find several of the same kind on gnome-look.org.
