i added at the end of my default theme .gtkrc file this text-much better!
But, still what values i need to change to become total transparent background, and that selected icon is not black?

Thanks



# this is the new part added by bgryderclock

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 75

base[NORMAL] = "#000000"
base[SELECTED] = "#000000"
base[ACTIVE] = "#000000"

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

ok-SOLVED:
edit /usr/share/themes/yourtheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
and add this lines at the end of that file:


style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 25

base[NORMAL] = "#000000"
base[SELECTED] = "#fdf6f6"
base[ACTIVE] = "#000000"

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

Then is possible to manipulate the colors there....
