Help with desktop icon text Wraping - New_boy - 06-03-2018

HI guys ,
just formatted my windows PC and installed linux for the first time. ( so I am a complete noob)

How do i make the desktop icon to show "Personal ( 2nd line) Folder" It currently only showing "Persona..."

only reason why Im asking is I have some icon of the same file 1st = 32 bit 2nd = 64 bit ... some time need to use the 32 bit copy

I haven't tried it myself, but you could append the following to your .gtkrc-2.0:

Code:
style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {

    XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels = 0

    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0

}

widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"

Please note that

Code:
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0

handles the transparency of the icon text, so you can delete it f you don't like the effect it has on your desktop :-)

You could try typing the following in the terminal (make sure the prompt says "~"):

Code:
nano .gtkrc-2.0

On a fresh install that file should contain

Code:
gtk-menu-popdown-delay = 0

gtk-menu-bar-popup-delay = 0

gtk-enable-animations = 0

gtk-timeout-expand = 0

Then copy the lines from here and paste them (ctrl+shift+v) after the above lines.

When finished exit nano (ctrl+x) and confirm overwrite. Log off and on again to see if things are as you like.
