@golinux: It looks nice!

@everyone else: the following goes in the gtk-2.0 files to get rid of the
giant icons in the popups on the desktop items (The ones that jump up and
practically bite you when you hover a desktop icon.)

--- cut

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 0
XfdesktopIconView::tooltip-size = 0
base[NORMAL] = "#000000"
base[SELECTED] = "#94928d"
base[ACTIVE] = "#b5b3ac"
fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff" }

# xfce4 stuff
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

--- cut

--------------------------------------------

For those unfamiliar with theming, these lines go at the very end of the purpy gtk-2.0/gtkrc file.

Or if you'd like to get rid of the gigantic pops globally put that into a .gtkrc-2.0 file in you home directory. Depending on the theme and wallpaper, you may need to tweak some of the alpha and color settings.
