My Gentoo system is now almost fully operational. It is hosted by a MacBook Pro 8.2 and all the hardware is working, including the graphics swtching which gave me some trouble to configure.

But, to finish, I only miss a small detail: I would like the labels background of the icons on my desktop fully transparent with white text, I don't like those white plates on my wallpaper.

So, as I did on my previous Manjaro-openrc, I just made my ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
Code:
style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 10
    base[NORMAL] = "#000000"
    base[SELECTED] = "#71B9FF"
    base[ACTIVE] = "#71B9FF"
    fg[NORMAL] = "#fcfcfc"
    fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
    fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
    XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels = 0
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
widget "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

And that should do it, because the theme I use, OS-X-El-Capitan (I don't like the policy, but I like the looks), has entries for everything: xfwm4, GTK2, GTK3, GTK3.2, cinnamon, ...

But, for my despair, I can't make the file being read by Xfce4. I already tried placing the path in GTK2_RC_FILES, including it in the theme file, almost everything, to no avail.

But it works on Manjaro with the same setup, can somebody help me, please?

Just got the answer on xfce.org forum and, for the record and benefit of others with the same problem, yes, it ignored here.

In fact, Gentoo is already using gtk3 and so, the user modifications shall be made in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

So, for me it's working:
Code:

/* xfdesktop icon theming */
XfdesktopIconView.view {
   background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.0);
}

XfdesktopIconView.view:active {
   background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.0);
   color: rgba(0,128,255,0.5);
   border-radius: 1px;
}

XfdesktopIconView.rubberband {
   background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}

XfdesktopIconView.label {
   background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.0);
   color: white;
}

XfdesktopIconView.label:active {
   background-color: rgba(0,128,255,0.3);
   color: white;
}

XfdesktopIconView.label:selected {
   background-color: rgba(0,128,255,0.3);
   color: white;
}


Don't trust this blindly as I'm going to revise it deeply by trial and error. Furthermore, my wallpaper is blue with some degrading, you probably have to adapt the colors.

Keep well.
