Can I give filenames an opaque background on the desktop? They are hard to read against a busy wallpaper pattern

Question

In Ubuntu 20.10, it's hard to read the names of items on my desktop when I use a busy wallpaper background image. Can I change a setting or something to make the text blocks have an opaque background?

Answer 1

following this post as a guide How to customize 19.10 Desktop Icon Font Size

edit the stylesheet.css file to have a line like below

.name-label {
    text-shadow: 1px 1px black;
    color: white;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: rgba(3,5,2,0.2)
}

Observe this line, background-color: rgba(3,5,2,0.2). edit the rgba color as you wish.
