this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/854401

as the title, the text on the desktop doesn't seems to notice the background color anymore, it's always being displayed as black/grey.
Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-09-20 14:51:57 UTC 
This is not really a bug; in the previous versions of Nautilus, the color and "shadow" effect (which is what makes the text readable on different background colors) was all hardcoded.
As part of some cleanups to make Nautilus more theme-friendly, in 3.1.92 I changed it to use theme colors for this, and added some style classes so that themes can choose colors they like.

For instance, Adwaita now uses pretty much the same color scheme that was hardcoded in Nautilus before, from the CSS [1].

Closing as NOTABUG. Feel free to contact me if you need help on how to implement the theming part for your theme.
