Hi everyone, As far as I'm concerned, what the patches for Numix and Arc actually do is turn off desktop text shadows entirely, so they're more workarounds than actual fixes. From my experience, Xfce desktop icon labels without shadowing become blandly white, which doesn't contrast well with lighter wallpapers.
A quick look at https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/blob/master/gtk-2.0/gtkrc finds no results for "textstyle = 5", which I believe is what enables shadowing in the first place. That's probably why it's not affected. Arc [1], Vertex [2], and Numix [3] on the other hand, have all used this styling.
