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 I've looked around and I can't seem to find anything that's not outdated or working.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

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

then i went into /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/stylesheet.css and added font-size:0px; in line 2 and line 9 it now looks like this.
