Go to Menu/All Settings/Appearance and then Style, havent checked if any other styles will fix it too

This is a bug in the arc-theme. Not an icon issue as far as I can tell. Fix is listed as of 5/16/16 I believe. gtk 3 thing apparently. Good luck. May have began because the arc-theme outran the humanity- icon theme in updates, or vice versa. Typical Ubuntu.

I can confirm this also on my laptop. I will keep looking for a solution.

@Jerry
There's a couple of threads that I found that seem to share the same issue on their host machine:

• https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other/ll3-number-pad-not-working-now-ghosting-on-screen-text/msg25074/#msg25074
• https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other/ugly-shadows-around-desktop-icon-text/msg25045/#msg25045

[Jerry]

Has anybody experienced this outside of a VM, that is to say, on real hardware, no virtual machines?

[Jerry]

I can confirm this issue. Must have been in one of the updated packages. Will look into it and try to find a solution.

@paul1149

Thank you for the reply. I tried the downward adjustment in icon font size just as you said. The only effect it had was just as expected but it did not resolve the issue for me.

[JmaCWQ]

nothing's changed:(

Make any difference if you open Desktop Settings, Icons tab, change Icon type under Appearance to None, logout & back in, then change Icon type back to File/launcher icons, logout & back in again?
Or perhaps changing the icon theme in the Appearance settings?
I'm guessing not but I'd probably try those if I had a similar issue.
As well as having the icon size set to 16 & custom font size set to 7 in the desktop settings I have Show icon tooltips checked, size 128, Show thumbnails unchecked, Show hidden files on the desktop checked, Single click to activate items unchecked.

[JmaCWQ]

Not sure if this is how it should be or that something is wrong at my side but my .gtkrc-2.0 file doesnt contain that much.

Yours is a default .gtkrc-2.0 TMG1961, I added the extra lines to mine to change the spacing between icons, removal of the permanent highlighting around the icons (now only highlighted when selected) & the highlight colour.
Explanation here under HIDDEN CUSTOMISATIONS http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/tree/README

[paul1149]

Several complaints about this on xfce fora. I resolved it by adjusting icon font size downward on my friend's machine.

I'm not seeing the shadows on a fresh LL 3 32-bit install I did about 12 hours ago, fully updated.
Was thinking it might be a 64-bit thing but ebduca above appears to be running 32-bit LL.
I've changed the desktop icon size to 16, icon text size to 7 & am using this in my .gtkrc-2.0 file:

Code: [Select]

gtk-menu-popdown-delay = 0
gtk-menu-bar-popup-delay = 0
gtk-enable-animations = 0
gtk-timeout-expand = 0

    XfdesktopIconView::shadow-y-offset = 0

    XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-x-offset = 0

Not sure if this is how it should be or that something is wrong at my side but my .gtkrc-2.0 file doesnt contain that much.
This is it:

Code: [Select]

gtk-menu-popdown-delay = 0
gtk-menu-bar-popup-delay = 0
gtk-enable-animations = 0
gtk-timeout-expand = 0

I'm not seeing the shadows on a fresh LL 3 32-bit install I did about 12 hours ago, fully updated.
Was thinking it might be a 64-bit thing but ebduca above appears to be running 32-bit LL.
I've changed the desktop icon size to 16, icon text size to 7 & am using this in my .gtkrc-2.0 file:

Code: [Select]

gtk-menu-popdown-delay = 0
gtk-menu-bar-popup-delay = 0
gtk-enable-animations = 0
gtk-timeout-expand = 0

style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
    XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
    XfdesktopIconView::selected-label-alpha = 170
    XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels = 1

    XfdesktopIconView::shadow-x-offset = 0
    XfdesktopIconView::shadow-y-offset = 0
    XfdesktopIconView::shadow-color = "#000000"
    XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-x-offset = 0
    XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-y-offset = 0
    XfdesktopIconView::selected-shadow-color = "#ffffff"

    XfdesktopIconView::cell-spacing = 1
    XfdesktopIconView::cell-padding = 1
    XfdesktopIconView::cell-text-width-proportion = 2.0

    base[NORMAL] = "#004e00"
    base[SELECTED] = "#004e00"
    base[ACTIVE] = "#004e00"

    fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
    fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
    fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
}
