Desktop icons - white background black lettering?

[OM NOM NOM]

Hi Folks,

Ok not a critical issue but an annoying one for me. I use Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on my laptop with Ubuntu Tweak installed. For some reason when I enable desktop icons the names of them are presented in black text on a white (ish) background. I'd just like backgrounds to be transparent, which I believe they were at one point.

A couple of things to note:

- I believe that this problem started when I installed Kubuntu-desktop to try it out. I removed it as it wasn't for me but my GNOME desktop has never seemed quite right since.

- I removed the .gconf files to reconfigure from scratch but it didn't help the situation.

I'm sure it something simple but I'm completely missing it. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I don't use this feature , but when I enable it the Icons appear with white lettering and only display a background behind the lettering when the icon active or selected .

The color of the background seems to be dependent on the GTK theme . Since some Ubuntu Tweak functions are a shortcut to the configuration editor , you could look there .
