Ted,
    You can make a file in your home directory called .gtkrc.mine.  Here's
what I have in mine and it produces white text on a transparent background
when unselected and white text on a gray background when selected:

# This section changes the the desktop font and font color

style "gnome-desktop-icon" {
  fg[NORMAL] = { 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 }
  bg[NORMAL] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }
  fg[SELECTED] = {1.0, 1.0, 1.0 }
  bg[SELECTED] = {0.44, .50, 0.56 }
}

widget_class "*DesktopIcon*" style "gnome-desktop-icon"


The number values (from what I understand) range from 0.0 to 1.0 and are
RGB values.  Hope that's what you're looking for!
