Comment 15 for bug 643836

Yao Ziyuan : I'm not convinced that the suggested gtkrc fix is better. Yes, it does make the words clearer, but IMO, the visual outcome doesnt seem more pleasing. We could very well minimize this problem by not shipping with a very light wallpaper.

The change you suggest cannot be done in nautilus and would need design consideration. Could you file a separate bug in the light-themes ? We can get a design review and consider it for a temporary fix.
