I'm trying to hide the text/name of the desktop icons in the 21.04 version update.

Is that possible? I've looked around and I can't seem to find anything that's not outdated or working. Thank you!

  • It Is possible by editing gnome shell extension desktop-icons – PRATAP May 28 '21 at 16:09

  • thanks bois. I got inspired by those posts and actually installed Desktop icons extension, went into one of the files and added font-size:0px; to the code. works as a charm now – pancake May 28 '21 at 20:21

No, this option is not build into the extension. It would probably require editing source code of the extension to remove the icon label.

Okay i ended up installing this extension Desktop Icons

and after installing I disabled the extension (it doubled my icons for some reason)

then i went into /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ding@rastersoft.com/stylesheet.css and added font-size:0px; in line 2 and line 9 it now looks like this.
