.gtkrc-2.0

I have some custom style changes in the .gtkrc-2.0 for 16.04. When using 16.10, some of these changes are no longer recognized. Has the desktop been changed to gtk3?

In a default Xubuntu, Thunar manages the "desktop". I haven't heard about Thunar going gtk3 in 16.10; it's still gtk2 in 16.04.

ldd /usr/bin/thunar | grep gtk

may give you a clue (that is if this command is valid in 16.10).

This has to do with desktop icon text. On 14.04 the below works and removes shadows and increases display width and wrap. However, on 16.10 it has no effect.

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
XfdesktopIconView::shadow-x-offset = 1
XfdesktopIconView::shadow-y-offset = 1
XfdesktopIconView::shadow-color = "#000000"
XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 2.1

fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
gtk-enable-tooltips = 0
