    Question About Icon Text Not Showing On Desktop in 4k


    So I'll be brief

    4k monitor

    Dark mode

    Hight contrast dark mode



    The text under my icons is there and if I click on an icon I can see it, but its invisible otherwise.

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Missing Desktop Icon Text

    You can't rename or even create new folders, etc ... The icons are there I just took a screenshot to show what I was talking about. The icons are unclickable

    No icons on desktop after startup only

    EagleEye,

    Have you tried toggling the Desktop icons on and off?

    • Right-click on an open area of the Desktop
    • Click: View
    • If Show Desktop icons is already checked, uncheck it.
    • Repeat the above steps a time or two.
    • Check: Show Desktop icons

    If no go on the above, right-click on the empty Desktop, and create a file.

    Let us know if they come back on.
