Users Xfce We know that when we have a file or folder with a very long name on the desktop, it is reduced by adding three ellipsis at the end, as can be seen in the following image:
For me that is much more elegant and beautiful, but if you want to see the full name, we just have to add in the file .gtkrc-2.0 following:
style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::ellipsize-icon-labels = 0
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
Then we reboot xfdesktop:
$ killall xfdesktop && xfdesktop --reload
You can see other configuration options in this link.
woow that tip is great. I don't usually leave icons on the desktop but I will try this config only to test xDDD
Great job Elav 😉
works!!!
Interesting to know.
I really appreciate the tips for Xfce.
curious, thanks
and for thunar, can you make it abbreviate the files with the dots?
it's a bit awkward to see the full files with the long names, because it makes them take up a lot of space and it looks really ugly (I mean thunar)
