Hi,

attached please find the patches (for xfdesktop svn revision 21769) 
which enable setting the icon label background and text color via the 
mcs plugin. The patches are against the src/ and settings/ 
subdirectories, so apply them in the xfdesktop source directory like

patch -p0 < xfdesktop_src.patch
patch -p0 < xfdesktop_settings.patch

There are two new options in xfdesktop.xml, "icons_label_alpha" (int 
type) and "icons_text_color" (color type). If those options are not 
found in xfdesktop.xml (e.g. not applied yet) and there are respective 
settings in the users gtkrc file (as posted by Brian recently), like

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
    fg[NORMAL] = "#ff0000"
    fg[SELECTED] = "#ff0000"
    fg[ACTIVE] = "#ff0000"
    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 100
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

those settings will be applied. In case there are no such gtkrc entries, 
default values (currently label alpha = 155, text color = black) are set.
Once the entries for "icons_label_alpha" and "icons_text_color" are 
present in xfdesktop.xml, they will be applied at startup.
IMHO, that order makes sense.

Please review the code and tell me what's wrong or improvable. And let 
me know if the patches don't work for you.

Best,   Nick.
